Jun-10-10		drmariogodrob: Wow, 25. Rf8! That's a computer move!

Jun-10-10		mworld: Rf8 would make a good puzzle - don't think i'd say its a computer move only from the standpoint that its SO powerful and threatens an obvious mate if recaptured and a venemous pin that neutralizes the bank rank and adds fuel to a mating net on the king. Good find!

Jun-10-10		mworld: *back rank...but now that I think of it, the bank rank sums it up better :)

Jun-11-10		drmariogodrob: <mworld> Oh sure...not a computer move in that sense. Just in the sense that...a computer made it ;-).

Jun-11-10		Nyctalop: 28. Rf8 is extremely crushing. If that had been played between humans, I'm sure the player behind the Black pieces would have resigned on the spot.

Jun-11-10		syracrophy: 25.f8!! Deadly! Le coup de grāce! Marvelous!

Jun-11-10		kramputz: The programmers of KOMODO are morons. Learn how to resign !! Sick program. //

Jun-11-10		whiteshark: 25.f8!! threats 26.g8#

Jun-12-10		mworld: <drmariogodrob: <mworld> Oh sure...not a computer move in that sense. Just in the sense that...a computer made it ;-).> LOL - nice you got got me on that one!

Jun-12-10		mworld: Oh, and gj on pulling off the old school style trolling ;)

Jun-12-10		luzhin: The interesting thing is that Komodo did not play the obvious 27...Bc6 avoiding loss of a piece. Why? Because it 'saw' the mate that follows: 28.Qg7+ Kg5 29.Bxe6 Rxg8 30.h4+ Kxh4 (if 30...Kf4 31.Qc7+ Qe5 32.Rf1+) 31.Qh6+ Kg3 32.Qh2+ Kf2 33.Qf4+ Ke2 34.Qd2++ -- the ending the game deserved!

Jun-13-10		falso contacto: not easy.

Jun-16-10		cormier: 12...Qe8

Dec-16-10		Eisenheim: could be a nice saturday or sunday puzzle at move 25.

Dec-17-10		Benzol: Is "Slaying the Dragon" a bad pun for this game. :)

Dec-17-10		Phony Benoni: Not bad. Would be perfect if Komodo actually played the Dragon.

Dec-08-11		invas0rX: nice shot! I love komodo
