The superfinal between Stage 4 top two engines Stockfish and Komodo was played 24/7 from May 19 until May 30, 2014. Both engines were updated with improved versions, the upcoming Stockfish 5, officially Stockfish 170514, and Komodo 7x, just released at the start of the superfinal <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52368 Komodo 7] by [[Larry Kaufman]], [[CCC]], May 19, 2014</ref>, and like Stockfish before, now supporting [[Syzygy Bases]].
