15' + 10" and 43 cores is same as 150' + 100" for 4 core home PC! So definitely VLTC or tournament level. Nice to see games with faster tempo. BTW season 9. rapid (25' + 10") ended 1. Houdini 2. Komodo and 3. SF. Current Komodo seems to be relatively weaker?

No, because the speed of the set of depths grows not linearly with respect to the number of cores. According to my calculations, the advantage is 2-4 times, depending on the 4-core processor.

Is the version of Komodo that is playing now fixed?

I don't know if "fixed" would be the best way to describe it. After 17 games, it's 6 wins behind SF and 5 behind Houdini, tied with Fire.

Actually game was won with 8. Ne5 +1,53 and open position - rest unnecessary! Note Na1 was never captured. I am skeptical if any contempt can improve SF.

I like the Topic Name !
Looks like the advent of AlphaZero has made TCEC "RABID" !

The big surprise of this stage is the stellar performance of Laser. Rated at the bottom at 2510, it is pulling upset draws and victories from the entire field, currently scoring 12.0/20.
