By the way do you have a rough eta of Komodo MP?
I can't remember but did you say you were aiming for a 12 monthly release schedule or something more frequent than that?
The main bottleneck is always testing time, so answering questions on the forum while waiting for tests is not much of a slowdown. The newest Komodo SP is perhaps 15 or so elo ahead of Komodo 4. We should have MP data in a few days. We will certainly release more often than once a year, but how often depends on the rate of future progress, and the future is unknown.
Good, don't get sucked into the once per year model - there are too many of those engines.
Totally agreed here....

It seems the days bestowed on this debate could have been better used to develop Komodo so that it won't require stellar means to beat Houdini. Or is that hopeless?
It seems both from the study and from CEGT tests at 40/2 hours that the crossover level is somewhere around 40/2 hours with one core. If no mortals have time for 40/2 hours there would be no human chess tournaments. I expect that our next release will be competitive with Houdini at the CCRL control of 40/40'. Don't worry, development of Komodo is not delayed by this discussion!
I think Komodo would have a shot at a time control of 1 move every 48 hours. Hopefully at that control I would be dead before it was finished.

( I wonder how many more threads it would take to bump that silly chess on the iphone crap off page 1. One thread drags up shit posted a year ago.)
