Houdini 2.0c x64 vs Critter 1.4 64-bit SSE4



Intel i5 w/4TCs
Fritz 11 gui
1CPU/64bit

Perfect 12.32 book w/12-move limit

Match=50 games

Code: Select all

1   Houdini 2.0c x64          +21    +15/-12/=23   53.00%   26.5/50
2   Critter 1.4 64-bit SSE4   -21    +12/-15/=23   47.00%   23.5/50

This may seem like a close score, but as hard as it may be to believe, it was much closer than the score indicates. Thing is, I do not believe I have ever run a match between them in which the final result was not just as close as their Kn/s speed and their ply depth. I have never quite seen anything like it. For example, here are back-to-back-to back games:


1. W=20.1 ply; 2464kN/s B=20.0 ply; 2289kN/s

2. W=18.4 ply; 2315kN/s B=18.4 ply; 2530kN/s

3. W=18.2 ply; 2461kN/s B=18.2 ply; 2368kN/s


I could switch the engine names and there is no way anyone could tell, short of the engines' programmers. And not sure they could from outside the engine. Quite amazing. And it is all the way thru the match. It is sort of eerie in a way.

Thanks ! Really interesting !

Thanks ! Really interesting !

Are they a mirror of each other or what. Do you know how many times they had the exact ply depth for a game. Not just the number itself, but the tenths of the number were identical. Never seen anything quite like it.

sadly you can thank strekla for that when the programmer released the souce code for the world to copy. :/
