Komodo might show up to, to complete the work of the sekretariat. If that happens the organisation should play the GUNDA-1 card with SF6 and get some kind of competition.PaulieD wrote:If Stockfish 6 will not be present the "Championships" will be meaningless.

After they have pathetically changed the link of their site http://komodochess.com/ to point to the only rating list in which Komodo is still #1 (because SF 6 still has not been tested there!) I expect anything out of them, even that Komodo participates icga and gives up TCEC (like Hiarcs did).mvk wrote:Komodo might show up to, to complete the work of the sekretariat.

It is not far from my house, yet I will not enter or watch. Personally I favor the TCEC format to decide on world championship.

I have respect for Komodo people, but I starting to see they are steering to desperate (and, sorry to say, quite pity) actions. They are commercial, they need to get money out of this Komodo thing, I understand this, nevertheless....

You sure about thatmcostalba wrote: Calling the winner of this tournament "world champion" has been a blatant and conscious lie for any and all of the last years.
.That's your problem.mcostalba wrote:Not accepting this fact stops any possibility of furthering discussion,
You guys are all so arrogant. Why is there so much hate here towards the Komodo team? I can understand it when it comes to the ICGA - but why Komodo? And why on earth would Mark and Larry walk away from a tournament in which they have had such great success? Seriously, do you even read what you write? In fact, they are the courageous ones who have the actual guts to battle your giant-community engine. This is evidently contrary to what Houdart did; he walked away. You all should be showing some respect for these two men who BEAT you in the last TCEC tournament.mcostalba wrote:After they have pathetically changed the link of their site http://komodochess.com/ to point to the only rating list in which Komodo is still #1 (because SF 6 still has not been tested there!)

Do you not think that the Komodo team is being insulted here? There is no deceptive advertising. People can read what each engines ratings are and see their placement. This is not rocket science. Does "Two-time Winner of the TCEC tournament!" sound deceptive to you?Isaac wrote:I agree that calling Komodo 8 the #1 chess program in the world when Stockfish 6 is leading in every single rating list where both K8 and SF6 are included, is a deceptive advertising and an insult to the Stockfish's programmers.
I also agree that the official world championship is nothing but a bad joke, at least nowadays.
