KOMODO DRAGON 2
NEURAL NETWORK CHESS EVALUATION
"Dragon 2" - A new concept
Komodo programmers GM Larry Kaufman and Mark Lefler recently decided to start over from scratch after Komodo 14. The step from the classic engine to the new "Dragon", which, like Fat Fritz 2.0, draws ist strength from a combination of a high-performance engine with a neural network, is quite fundamental. The network of Komodo Dragon 2 was trained with the help of countless ultra-fast games of the classic Komodo 14, which for a long time was the world's strongest engine for games with such short thinking times.
Neural game understanding + powerful engine power
Komodo Dragon 2 thus has both excellent positional play - thanks to the neural network - and tremendous tactical power and computing speed, thanks to the classic Alpha Beta engine. It is a combination that pays off: compared to the double world champion Komodo 14, the developers were thus able to increase the playing strength of Komodo Dragon 2 once again by more than 200 ELO points! The first version of the "Dragon" is currently already one of the top three in the CCRL rating list (as of April 2021). However, the search function was still largely based on the settings of the old Komodo 14 engine. This has changed with "Dragon 2": in the new version, the search has been optimised based on evaluations stored in the neural network. It will be interesting to see whether Dragon can even outperform the competition as a result!
Top program and analysis partner
Komodo Dragon 2 comes with a number of engine variants. The standard version offers maximum playing strength. For analysis with multiple variations, on the other hand, the "MCTS" version is recommended. In addition, this version offers an exciting feature: you can have the move that offers the best chances from a practical point of view displayed in the analysis. The standard version, on the other hand, always expects the best possible play from the opponent, and that is therefore clearly the first choice, especially in correspondence chess. In addition, the engine can be switched to the variants "Attack", "Beginner", "Defence", "Endgame" in analysis and in the game.

Powerbook 2021
Up-to-date openings theory with 1.7 million games
The Fritz Powerbook 2021 contains 25 millions opening positions, derived from 1.7 million high class tournament games. Together with each position all relevant information is stored: all moves that were played in the position, by players of what average rating, with what success and performance results.
The games from which the Fritz Powerbook 2021 were derived (except the Corr Games) are also included on the DVD or download version. The Fritz Powerbook 2021 represents the state of the art of current openings theory. New: For the first time the FritzPowerbook were derived also from the best 100,000 games from the Correspondence 2020 Database to enhance even more the theoretical value of moves given by the book. With the 2021 edition you get 3 Books: Fritz Powerbook 2021, Strongbook and the new CorrBook.
Discover exciting and tricky new lines and practice them against Fritz. In addition the DVD has a small but very exclusive book with the strongest GM games (ELO >= 2550) from the past 100 years (2.7 Mio positions) and StrongBook Games Database.
System requirements:Â Pentium PC, 2 GB RAM, Windows 10, 8 or 7 and Fritz 13, 14, 15, 16 or ChessBase 15, 14, 13 or 12 and DVD drive.
Endgame Turbo 4
The Endgame Turbo 4 consists of 4 DVDs with endgame databases (Syzygy Tablebases). With the help of the Endgame Turbo, all five- and 27 six-piece endgames (including the sophisticated and practice-oriented endgame (R,P,P vs. R) are played with absolute perfection. Likewise, top chess engines like Komodo Chess 8 and Houdini 4 handle endgames with more than six pieces much better since the programs can already access the endgame knowledge during the analysis.
Definitely a must-have for correspondence players, endgame theoreticians and friends of engine matches! The Endgame Turbo 4 contains all endgames with three pieces up to five pieces. Plus 27 of the most important endgames with 6 pieces.
