user3237: I have three questions about the chess engine Komodo.
Firstly, where can I buy and order it? I would like to have it in a CD (not just download it). I went into the website of a chess store near where I live (Paris), but it apparently does not sell Komodo (but it sells Fritz, Houdini, Hiarcs, Junior, Rybka and Shredder).
Secondly, do I get a "bonus" with Komodo? When I bought Fritz and Houdini I got a bonus of one year premium membership into a chess server called "Playchess". Do I also get something like that with Komodo?
Thirdly, does anyone know when will the next version of Komodo be released approximately? Because if the version 8 gets released soon, then there's no point in buying the version 7 today.
I found the release dates of all the previous versions of Komodo:

Version 4: December 2011
Version 5: June 2013
Version 6: October 2013
Version TCEC: December 2013
Version 7: May 2014

So it seems the version 8 will be released very approximately in November..
