Which is the strongest chess engine in the world.

I am not talking about "Deep Blue" and stuff, which has been disassembled at present, I would like to know the current strongst chess playing engine in the 21st century.

Comments and Suggestions would be appreciated

some says Houdini is the best 

what is chess engine

Look at what stockfish is doing to the tcec and you get your answer.

look at that list

It's currently a two horse race between Komodo 8 and Stockfish if we're talking about match play.  Which is kind of funny because when humans use engines, they don't care about how they are programmed to play each other, they care about finding moves after a reasonable amount of time.  Houdini 4 would be better in this year's TCEC standings if it didn't have issues with its time management.  But all anyone will see is that Houdini is currently in 4th place in stage 3 of TCEC and assume that Houdini is "weaker".

Magnus Carlsen. Don't leave him running in dead drawn positions though as he will play on until something is broken.

Also technically, Komodo is the only undefeated engine through stages 1 and 2.  Stockfish lost to Gull in stage 1.

Chess engines are not allowed on Chess.com= you will be baned fro playing

Best engine is...V Twin. Hook a chain around the computer and up to the bike and drag it into oblivion, destroying the hardware that holds the software, in this case any chess engine, then ride off in victory into the sunset with a triumphant holler.

Probably Komodo. But don't plan on cheating.
