Soon.

Any new features you can tease or just the normal 'speed-ups' and 'adjustments'?
I am keen on getting 14...sure hope MCTS is even more refined for analysis.

It will have one major new feature, but I'm not quite ready to announce it. Both standard and MCTS modes are stronger, with MCTS mode showing the larger improvement.

Put me down for Komodo 14, I have not back been in chess since the divorce but I'm planning for this next purchase.

As to the tease...will I need to get a high end graphics card?

No, that would be more than a "feature". But I do expect we'll have a NN Komodo version this year. Whether it will need a high end GPU I don't yet know.

Was that the last odds match game between GM Nakamura Vs Komodo ??.?, If that is the case the newer version of Komodo could possibly give Nakamura the same odds at twice the time control used back then where Nakamura can have more time to think, and still give Nakamura a hard time.

That was our first match with him. The second was about two years later, at a much faster time control but at larger handicaps (all games drawn). We have only used KomodoNN in one match, the last one vs. FM Gilden, but that was an experimental version not ready for release. It was pretty good, on a par with normal Komodo, but unless it is better than normal Komodo it isn't marketable if it requires a good GPU.
