I am an average chess player and I draw regularly against this chess engine. I don't win, but I draw. Stockfish is much stronger than this. I can't even draw against Stockfish.

Same problem on PC version. In Stockfish you can set the playing strength between 1 and 20. No such option here. Also, Stockfish is free.

Hi team Komodo. The Syzygy files I understand to be endgame files. Are these something in need to download first to use? Or are they part of the app download? I have seen under the Configure komodo button a option stating "use Syzygy" do i simply need to click this in order for the engine to use the endgame tables? Please help. Thank you :)

My thanks to the Komodo chess team, your engine is in my view a massive leap in chess engine development. Most engines naturaly play very agresive attacking chess. Komodo is a boa constrictor, it grabs hold of you and slowly crushes you. If you are a positional player - you cannot fail in buying this engine. Finally and engine that thinks and plays in my playing style - perfect for analysing positions in a style that fits me.

Q70%
by Q####:

well done.. strong engine and works well.. it is like before mentioned a boa it crush you slowly

S70%
by S####:

It crashes with latest Android version (5.1.1). Instead of releasing a patch to fix the issue they release a new version and ask for us to purchase it yet again. That aside, when it was working the engine was very good.

The first time I couldn't get refunded for something I hated.....thieves!!!

N70%
by N####:

Consistently locks up device when using latest droidfish. Using Android 4.4.4 on Samsung S5. Works fine with other chess GUIs..however consistently looses with big margin to Stockfish 6. Something isn't right.

P70%
by P####:

Greetings!!! Komodo is truly a strong and magnificent chess engine. But I was wondering if there would be a discount for us Komodo 8 users who would be upgrading to Komodo 9? Just a thought =) Komodo is truly a world class chess engine hands down!

Cannot beat stockfish 6.I just play it many times against stockfish 6,it lost for a draw only! I expected it to be the best engine thats why i bought this,but it lost against a free engine stockfish 6. Complaint! what is the best GUI i use to beat stockfish 6? or it is need to update and upgrade to beat stockfish 6? I wish it will be updated cause stockfish is always updated!

N70%
by N####:

the komodo 8 cannot beat droidfish stockfish 6. i purchase komodo 8 because i thought it is the best engine that can beat stockfish. but it cannot beat stockfish. only draw. sometimes stockfish win. but komodo don't win. i think komodo 8 needs to be upgrade to komodo 9 so that it can beat stockfish 6.
