[quote="Guenther"]

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 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.

Congrats Robert on winning TCEC 10. You should issue a challenge to Google's Deepmind's AlphaZero.

The google machine uses tensor chips that give a horsepower advantage that is mind blowing.

In order to compete, the top system from here:
http://www.ipmanchess.yolasite.com/amd- ... -bench.php

Nodes/second CPU Cores/Threads
277.481.942 4x Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 4x28c/56t 224threads

Might level the playing field somewhat.
That's better than Deep Blue throughput.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Perhaps a Pyrrhic Victory, but a victory all the same.
