Komodo is a good example of a program that is very strong with relatively low nodes counts. Fritz is a good example of reasonably strong program that has very high node counts but doesn't match the top programs in strength despite racking up a lot of nodes.

Don,
reads much about the limitations of Komodo in speed.
Look, I'm not so sure, I guess it's a matter of where they are measured,
in my tests find that Komodo is stronger than it appears in times of 1 minute,
in littlebliter tests that are 10 or 20 seconds game, also is luxury.

I honestly do not think Komodo there is a tractor precisely.
