In dem Blog des interessanten Autors GM Jacob Aagaard habe ich ein Interview gefunden, in dem Larry Kaufmann u.a. auf die Stärken von Komodo eigeht.
Ich fand das sehr lesenswert, insbesondere wenn man die Einschätzungen von Frank Quisinsky kennt...

• What are the main reasons Komodo was able to edge out the competition in the World Championship?
In my opinion it is due to spending more time in evaluating positions. This is not good for blitz chess where tactics dominate, but at long time limits it appears to pay off.
• What are the different properties of Komodo, Stockfish, Houdini, Rybka and Fritz and how would the person who wants to improve their chess use these differences to his advantage?
Komodo is best at evaluating middlegame positions accurately once the tactics are resolved. Stockfish seems to be best in the endgame and in seeing very deep tactics. Houdini is the best at blitz and at seeing tactics quickly. Rybka is just obsolete; I like to think of Komodo as its spiritual desceendant, since I worked on the evaluation for both, although the rest of the engines are not similar. Fritz is just too far below these top engines to be useful.
• Is a person better off using one engine or several engines when analysing?
I think it does make sense to use one core for each of the top three engines when you have a quad, partly because using all the cores for one engine is a bit inefficient, and also because the top 3 engines are not very similar.

Zitat:
Komodo’s assessment of positions is its strong point relative to the other top two, Houdini best for tactics, Stockfish for endgames and whenever great depth is required. Both Houdini and Stockfish overvalue the queen, Komodo has the best sense for relative piece values I think. Komodo is also best at playing the opening when out of book very early.
Was denkt Ihr über seine Antworten und Ansichten?
Ist Komodo tatsächlich so
superstark positionell, wie es einer der Frager (siehe Link) darstellt?
