Houdini 1.5 v Rybka 4 at long time control

[PawnStormZ]

Hi all.

I am running a match between the 64 bit mp versions of Houdini 1.5 and Rybka 4 at "championship" time controls.

Match conditions: Intel core I7 920 at 2.66GHz using 4 cores HT off; Win 7 64 Home Premimum; 6G RAM; pc doing nothing but the match while a game is being played.

Each engine uses default settings except for the split-depth of Houdini which is set to 12 (tested best on this pc); no large pages; no end-game tablebases; 512 hash each; 4 cores each; ponder off.

Time control is 40 in 120 min - 20 in 60 min - remainder in 30 min plus 10 seconds per move. I am using the excellent "ChessGUI" to run the match, set to give each engine a 1/10th second "overstep" margin to help avoid any time losses.

The openings are played using random choices from Bob Hyatt's set of 4000 positions; each position is played as Black and White by each engine.

Since each game takes about 6 hours, it will take some time before there are a good amount of games. I plan to keep posting the games as they are completed (or more likely after every few games). I hope that they will be interesting as games, in addition to the outcome of the match.

Standings after game 2

Houdini_1.5   2.0   + 2 = 0 - 0
Rybka_4        0.0   + 0 = 0 - 2

[Houdini]

Pal, the first two games are quite cool.
The first game only takes off at move 60, when Black launches a double pawn sacrifice to trap the White king.
The second game is in pure attacking style with a g4/h4 pawn storm followed by a pawn sacrifice at g5 that apparently crushes Black.

This forum needs a PGN viewer .

[Tomcass]

Thanks for this very interesting test, Pal. I will follow carefully your results. My guess at this Time Control: 63% Houdini 1.5 37% Deep Rybka 4.

Regards from Barcelona,

Tom.

   Hi Robert.
 
   I was hoping that people would find the games, as well as the overall total score to be interesting.  When I was thinking of "people" I never thought that one of them would be you.  
 
   Knowing that you are looking, and even taking the time to go through the games, is a big encouragement to continue this "marathon".  I hope that you will find future games to be interesting, and maybe even useful in getting ideas for improving this already amazing program.
 
   Thanks again for Houdini!

   Hi Tom.
 
   I have no idea about what the final result % will be.    Houdini was way ahead of anything else I tried at short time controls. We will see.
 
   Game 3 was a draw, and game 4 looks to be another as they both have eval 0.0 and only R and 3 P each in an almst completely symmetrical position on F G H files.

Pal, the first two games are quite cool.
The first game only takes off at move 60, when Black launches a double pawn sacrifice to trap the White king.
The second game is in pure attacking style with a g4/h4 pawn storm followed by a pawn sacrifice at g5 that apparently crushes Black.

Hi Robert, especially I like the first one.
[D] 1rr5/6pk/q2p1p1p/Pp1P1P2/2npP2P/1R1B2PK/4Q3/R7 b - - 0 63

In this position it takes Rybka4 and Stockfish1.9 longer than 3 minutes (R4 at ply 22) to discover Ne5! and the real evaluation of this typically position of a knights domination over the bishop. Houdini gives it almost immediately as best move.

Question for Robert, is this because of specially programmed rules good knight vs bad bishop ?

grts Bram
and a happy new year for all of you
