Komodo 9 is the latest release of this prize-winning chess engine. Komodo 9 is an improvement over all previous Komodo versions and supports multi-core processors (32- and 64-bit) and endgame tablebases.


BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: NOTE THAT KOMODO 9 FOR ANDROID REQUIRES A CHESS GUI (for recommendations, see below).
THIS INSTALLER PROVIDES THE KOMODO ENGINE IN CHESSBASE & OPEN EXCHANGE FORMAT ONLY.


AFTER PURCHASING: Verify your license by running the installed app once before using Komodo.
