Thank you. Game 1 and 4 seem to be below expectations for it otherwise it would be close to being right at the top. Can you email the game moves please and I will paste them into my list. Would be nice to see where it missed.
I took a closer look at Test Games 1 & 4 and compared to Stockfish 6:
Test Game 1 - Komodo 9 - Stockfish 6 Comparison
I highlighted some surprising weaker moves in yellow. 11. Nxc8 is interesting to me. From the top programs only Stockfish and Komodo play it. I know it's not the right move though because at deeper depth you will probably see it kicked out again.
Test Game 4 - Komodo 9 - Stockfish 6 Comparison
Same with these highlighted yellow moves. With deeper search they will probably be kicked out again.
Just out of interest, plugged in Stockfish 6 score for Test Game 1 and 4 into Komodo 9 to see what it's rating would have been if Komodo 9 would have scored the same as Stockfish in these two test games:
Well with a better game 1 and 4 it would have slotted into 3rd place. It looks like Game 2 is also below expectations. In game 5 it scored very well.
It would be interesting to see these two programs play each other without opening book to see who would come out on top. My early suspicion would be Stockfish 6.
After seeing the moves that were played, I am at least relieved that the evaluations don't seem to be wrong.
I will have a play around with Komodo's settings a little to see if I can make it a any stronger for the two games that you have highlighted. If I succeeded then I will retest the others also.
I have had a play around with Komodo settings and can get it's white score up to 3062 from 2563 in Game 4 but it's blacks score then goes down from 2945 to 2856. I have tried various settings but can't seem to get white and blacks scores to both go up on the same settings.
Maybe you should just use Komodo's default setting score of 2563 & 2945.

Hi Bryan,
You could if you wanted to, play the 5 tests with your custom setting and see what the end result is compared to the standard setting. Might be interesting to see how configurable Komodo 9 is. I have already included your standard setting results into the rating list. I have just not done an updated post. Waiting to add a few more tests before I post it.
ps I just received Quad Core Gavon 3 which should be comparable to your unit. I might try and do Stockfish 6 with it to see how it scores.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to set Komodo on the settings I previously had that increased it's white score but decreased it's black's and visa versa. There are so many permutations that I have given up trying to find it so we are stuck with Komodo's default Hudl2 settings.
However, I have just emailed you the ChessGenius v4.0.0 results running on my Apple iPad 3 which resulted in the following scores.
Game 1: 2920 - 2512 = 2716
Game 2: 2578 - 2522 = 2550
Game 3: 2788 - 2473 = 2631
Game 4: 2005 - 2042 = 2024
Game 5: 2460 - 2427 = 2444
Here is the updated list of all the programs tested so far. We now have gone past the 2nd century with a total 2013 programs tested so far.
Some new additions are:

Revelation MM IV scored 2164 ELO
