TCEC 10

[kranium]

There is not much difference in statistics between Houdini and Komodo: http://www.sp-cc.de/long-thinkingtime.htm:

Houdini-Komodo: 741 (+118,=529,- 94)

Seems very likely Houdini is stronger...

games = 741
win% = 0.516194
elo = +11.2569
los = 0.945045

There is no statistical evidence that Houdini or Komodo is better.
No one so far produced a significant amount of games that would proof one of them being better.

You don't need a large # of games if the margin of victory is big enough...

Houdini 6 vs Komodo 11.2
(+10−1=46)

games = 57
win% = 0.578947
elo = +55.3211
los = 0.994617

This is cherry picking a 57 games interim match result.
Why not posting the full results table with other games included?

Code: Select all

2       Houdini 6 64-bit 4CPU   3412    +22     -22     69.7%   -128.3  54.5%   664
3       Komodo 11.2 64-bit 4CPU 3398    +19     -19     67.4%   -113.9  53.8%   864

Nothing to conclude with that error bars - we still know nothing and
this is just for 4 cpus and not TCEC hardware...

The point was LOS calculation, which can be applied to 2 engines only
Weren't you talking about Houdini vs Komodo, like now in TCEC...?

If so, there's plenty of data like the 2 examples I posted above.

Houdini 6.0 x64 1CPU -3360 vs Komodo 11.2 x64 1CPU - 3332

+ 22 = 66 - 12

games = 100
win% = 0.55
elo = +34.8601
los = 0.950873

You are right.
But the one question is "What is the better engine?" and the other question is
"What engine may be the winner of TCEC?"
To give the right answer to the question one we would get lot of thousand games.
To give the right answer to the second question we have enough games yet.
In my opinion there is a small difference between Houidini and Kimodo in Elo number but the advantage is in the side of Houdini.
