Komodo is at least 200 - 300 ELO stronger than other opponents and Komodo had tons of draws at the tournament. Sounds ridiculous.
There were an error by ICGA. Komodo won 2 games, but ICGA wrote that the first game won Boot engine.
Look at the position (side to move: white):
[fen]1b6/5pk1/P4pp1/1PQ5/5qbP/2Np4/5PB1/5K2 w - - 0 1[/fen]
This is 0-1, but ICGA wrote that this is 1-0. Sad thing is, that a lot of experienced chess players believed that Boot won when they saw this position. Maybe you will write to me, that sometimes error happens, but jesus christ, this is WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP! How ICGA comrades can do mistake like this?! It's really funny to read debate on the web about whether this ICGA comical party has a moral right to grant the title of World Champion.
Boot has a silver medal. Boot's author is Alex Morozov. It's an open source project. Boot engine is completely written in Pascal language. It uses bitboard conception.
