Houdini 6.03 64-bit 8CPU v Stockfish 181117 64-bit 8CPU

[Jouni]

I consider this as TCEC Hyperfinal .

[gotogo]

Graham please pardon my comment it has nothing to do with your tournament! I know you are doing a fine jab as always!

Stockfish is a beat down version of what it use to be! Stockfish team has been lobotomizing Stockfish since June and has not stopped!
I'm not sure if they are working to change the format or just weakening it for commercial engine advantage.. In any case it's still a free engine..

Hope your testing goes well!
I like Houdini too always have!

GAME 9

Houdini gained a spatial advantage, but the Stockfish position was rock solid. A fairly uneventful draw. The match score is 4.5-4.5 (one win each).

[Graham Banks]

GAME 10

Houdini initially had thoughts about an early e4 followed by kingside expansion. However, Stockfish organised its position well to prevent this. When Houdini eventually pushed forward with its pawns, a mass of exchanges quickly led into a completely drawn ending. The match is tied at 5.0-5.0, with each engine having one win in the bank.

[Graham Banks]

GAME 11

Houdini sacs a piece in the opening to keep the enemy king in the centre. However, a cunning knight manoeuvre by Stockfish sees the queens come off and the material returned to get rid of any danger. A rook and pawns ending eventuates and this is ultimately drawn. The match score is 5.5-5.5 (one win each).

GAME 12

Stockfish actively plays for an advantage with black, but the game doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The game then takes an interesting turn in the endgame, as Houdini ends up with a queen against rook and knight. However it is the rook and knight in combination with an active position and menacing queenside pawns that look most dangerous, so Houdini restores the material balance to go into a drawn kong and pawns ending. The score is now 6.0-6.0 (one win each).

GAME 13

Houdini obtains a queenside pawn majority out of the opening, but initially focuses on kingside play. However, when it becomes obvious that there is nothing to be gained on that side of the board, Houdini creates an outside passed pawn on the queenside. Again, Stockfish has things covered though and once the queens come off, the a-pawn also disappears and a drawn ending results. The match score is now 6.5-6.5 (one win each).

[Graham Banks]

GAME 14

An interesting game, where play on the queenside sees both sides eventually create a passed pawn. However, both passers are traded off and the resulting position is another draw. The score is 7.0-7.0 (one win each).

GAME 15

After Stockfish dented black's centre pawns with a pseudo-sac, Houdini's ensuing control along the e-file gave no concrete advantage. The queens were exchanged and then a tactical endgame saw almost everything else come off the board, leaving a tablebases draw. An interesting skirmish. The match is still level at 7.5-7.5 (one win each).

GAME 16

An early impasse was reached, with neither side initially prepared to try anything. Then not long after Stockfish plays 55....c5, Houdini gives up a pawn to create an outside passer. However, there is still nothing in the position for either side and a threefold repetition ends the game. The match score is 8.0-8.0 (one win each).
