My first test with Komodo Dragon Vs Igel 3.0.5

Hello there,

It is much stronger than Chiron 5 which is selling for or 20. Euro or $15.00 http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77534

Thanks, I will stick to the point I mentioned in the previous reply: "I personally think that it is great that Stockfish and Leela are free yet being the strongest engines out there. It inspires other engineers to make engines free as well and this contributes to the world of chess.".

Of course it would not contribute to peoples bank accounts.

but Igel 3.-0.5 should go commercial it is so strong using his newer Ryzen Super Computer AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 3970X 32-Core 3.7 - 4.5GHz

Why would you want Igel to go commercial? There are a lot of strong open source engines out there and Igel is not even the strongest, so it feels counter intuitive for me to make it commercial. I personally think that it is great that Stockfish and Leela are free yet being the strongest engines out there. It inspires other engineers to make engines free as well and this contributes to the world of chess.

You have to keep in mind that Chiron is not using nnue technology ''yet''.. if it did it would be on pair with Igel, maybe even stronger...
When comparing Igel to Chiron, You are comparing aples to oranges... since Igel is using nnue technology and Chiron is not, so it is not a fair comparison.

When people compare the Elo rating of Engines, all that matter is the Elo, such as when we compare Magnus Carlsen to the rest we do not care if Carlsen is a hybrid half human and half alien from another planet, or weather he has a chip implanted on his brain.
