Almost 11-4 right now in favor of Houdini.
This is getting painful to watch. Komodo is quite a good Engine and doesn't deserve this humiliation, just because of wrong Contempt Settings.
At what stage will the TCEC guys put Komodo out of its misery ?

The same stage they put Houdini out of its misery last season.

Yes it's a total lottery who is going to win. Very slight advantage for Houdini perhaps. But know I'm gambling too much.

You'd be gambling too much only if you were betting on Komodo to win.

Only five points difference now, I can't cope with this stress and uncertainty. Winner will probably sell thousands of copies more based on this result.

I guess it will make very little difference in sales (though it will probably help the winner some).

I suspect a few thousand copies is their entire market, for that matter.

But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
