I was finally able to download it (7 PM, Mountain Standard Time [Alberta, Canada].

To the best of my knowledge, the problem or problems have been fixed and downloads are now working. I expect someone will post here if they still have problems.

Your tests cannot be taken seriously.

Why not?
I like his site and his test very much!

"Sounds' like you got an illegal copy (?). Did you actually download it from the Komodo/Dragon website?

[Ozymandias]

Yet easier to answer, did you pay for it?

I confirm that the download works and the engine is licensed to me (correctly).

Why his tests cannot be taken seriously - because of one very important factor. His book is bad and I'm not up for testing. In order not to be groundless and deceitful, a test of debut books was conducted on a certain website, I'm talking about the site https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... testings-2 and notice how his book fares - the worst of all books. When I see it, the only thing that comes to mind is tragedy and despair.

Ouch! 100 game tests? The error margins are bigger than the elo diff in most cases. And the elo diff Cfish vs Kayra should be 15 elo a priori? Shouldn’t that be determined through extensive tests with some 30k games?

UHO accentuates the elo diff, so if with balanced openings we have 15 elo, with uho we should have 30 elo.

That page cannot be taken seriously.
