I don't have the game score any more, but Komodo won despite playing Black, using no opening book, using only one core (Komodo was not yet MP), and giving 30 to one time odds. Walter reached a pawn down bishops of opposite color endgame which he should have drawn, but being short on time he missed the draw.
I'm thinking about trying to revive the GM vs. Rybka handicap matches I ran years ago, now using Komodo. There are so many possibilities.
Komodo rules!

Whatever you could do. I figured the Komodo vs. Browne were never recorded anyway but it was worth a shot. I remember on ICC though that the GM's would play Rybka but they didn't want to play Chess Tiger 2007 because of it's style it imparted to humans.
