SCCT-Houdini 1.5 test is planning to be started soon in LIVE

Post by Sedat Canbaz »

Hello Chess Friends,

A few comments about the latest release of Ipp family engines:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the results of the latest Ipp family engine's performance are very interesting,surprising/impressive/suspicious...

The Authors of Ipp family are probably Genius in chess engineering or superior in Rybka engine modification

Just in shorter than one year of period we noticed that Ipp family Authors have been released engines playing of level approx. 3300 elo

I wonder also,is that can be possible any new incomer in computer chess programing to create chess engines of level 3300 elo ?!

Yes...there is a such saying 'everything can be possible' and probably the Ipp family's Authors belong to this saying

But anyway,i think X engine (which is considering or has suspicious to be a clone of any chess program) should be allowing of testing,in case of approx.50 elo or stronger than the original engine

However,with big respect to Vasik Rajlich,i plan to test by myself the latest Houdini 1.5 (by Robert Houdart) in SCCT Rating List

So SCCT Rules/Conditions will be:
- Houdini 1.5 x64 T4 will be played firstly 400 games (against top 20 engines),in case of +50 elo better performance than Rybka 4,the test will be continued,if less than 50 elo performance the test will be stopped

I plan to provide this interesting Houdini 1.5 x64 T4's match directly in LIVE,using external PC/Justin TV/Web Camera

SCCT-Houdini 1.5 test is planning to be in LIVE:18.12.2010

Haha abi telefon konuşmaları da geliyo. KDV'ler falan :) Trakya şivesi mi o bu arada?

Phone conversations can be heard in the background as well. They are quite funny if you know turkish :)

Thanks for sharing this live.

Hi Sedat,
so Houdini 1.5 scores 65 % against DR4 in 20 - 10 min games
and what is the actual standing in the other 400 games match ?

my guess is 55-65 ELO above DR4

Hello Bram,
