Unbelieveble result for Houdini!!!

Dear Marijan Stipancic jr,

The games you published above strongly suggest that you are using Houdini 2.0c with a pirate license, resulting in a 150 Elo weaker engine.

Please purchase a Houdini 2 license so that you can enjoy the full strength of the engine, and no longer have "Unbelieveble result for Houdini!!!".

Cheers,
Robert

Wrong, Mr. Houdart... Got my Houdini as gift... I will prove you... This is my long time control rating list... Houdini s are still at the top... That s why I m surprised....

Your Houdini 2.0c definitely behaves like a pirated version.

For example, take a look at the position from the game against Naum above, after white move 25.

Your game shows a score of +0.91 [Rh6 {-0.91/19 46}].
Don't you think there's something wrong?

If you really have a valid license, please send it to houdini@cruxis.be so that we can verify together what went wrong with the installation.

I can't get my head around THAT concept. A pirated license for a program that is a copy of another program?

Mr. Houdart, my deepest apologies... You were right when you said that is something wrong.... Arena seems doesent worked properly... Had that problem few days ago... Now its ok... Downloaded new one....

Blaming Arena??? Nonsense... It has nothing to do with the GUI. Most probalby you have a pirated version with an improper crack. If I were you, I would hide in the woods instead of publishing on fora.
