With Larry Kaufman and Mark Leffler
The Creator of Amazing Engine Komodo 3 continues an interview he did on ChessBase live stream in May 2022.
Here’s an interview cut from the aforementioned ChessBase live stream event.
Here’s the riddle I was talking about in the live cut.
Download the .pgn and test your engine position. Please note that the results of the solution depend on several factors, such as the age of the computer.
This riddle was discovered here by my colleague Fabian Brinkmann himself.
All engines usually find only one correct move 1. Bd2+but the interesting part is the evaluation results – black is better or clearly better!
I wanted to show Lawrence Trent when I started the live stream in May, so I immediately tested the brand new Komodo 3 engine at this location.
Oddly enough, the Komodo 3 correctly identified the result within seconds:”white clearly wins“But far more remarkable is the fact that no other tested engine has been able to do so!
I spoke with Larry and Mark about the position after the interview and they said they were happy that the outcome would obviously depend on a wide variety of things. I asked a colleague of mine to do the same test with the installed engine and all the results were similar.
Komodo 3 has received a free update!
Just a few days ago, Komodo 3 won the World Chess Software Championship 2022!
And if you own Komodo 3, you’ve already received a free update to version 10 or higher.

The new Komodo Dragon 3 engine gained 100 Elo points of play intensity over its predecessor when using processor cores in Blitz. This is a huge improvement for a program that has already reached over 3500 Elo levels!
