Komodo 11 Question

Sort:

Since Komodo 11 on Amazon and Chessbase comes with the Fritz 15 UI, does it include all the installed databases, such as the 1.5 million historic games that come with Fritz 15? I tried asking ChessCentral, the seller on Amazon, but they responded by copy/pasting the product description as if I'm too stupid to read the description myself.

 

Thanks,

Joe

i can only say for Komodo 10 but i am 100% sure its the same for 11. the only difference to Fritz 15 is the engine, the .bmp at the start abd shorter playchess premium time. so yes database and opening book was included! But seriously don't buy it. save your money and buy Fritz 15, you will change to the much better and stronger stockfish engine anyway and than you payed 50 bugs for less premium and a .bmp

Thanks for the response. I've used the latest Stockfish and don't really like the way it plays. It plays way too open for my taste and the endgame is very sporadic (at least on lower levels, I obviously can't beat it maxed). I also use Komodo 9, which I enjoy a lot more because it seems to play a lot more conservatively with its pieces (not making sacrifices that I can't understand after analysis), seems to like to play a lot more closed positions (my preference), and the moves it makes seem to make more logical sense to me (though not quite as much as Haircs does). I wasn't sure if Komodo 11 has improved in those regards, or of they just made it play the same but with deeper analysis and higher ELO rating (which doesn't matter to me since I can't even beat it anyways without it turned down considerably). I would get the latest Hiarcs instead, but it comes with a UI that isn't compatible with my DGT board, whereas the Fritz UI is. I currently have the Fritz 13 UI, so I was hoping the 15 UI has some improvements. 

Sorry for the long winded post, just wanted to clarify what I'm looking for. Thanks! happy.png
