Houdini 2.0c x64 vs. Engine 40x(2)- The Battle has ended!

40x(2) held his own thru game 718. And had actually cut Houdini's lead from 49 games to 39 games. From there to game 880- Houdini was able to make those 10 games back up.

But games 881 thru 1000 Houdini went on one of the runs that, well.... make him Houdini. What can I say. He stretched a 49 game lead, by the conclusion- to 71 games. It is what it is.


Which game did you enjoy most and why?



I want to ask you if you are serious, but quite possibly it is not a bad question. Problem is this was a time control of 10'+10"- and those can be long games. No one has the time to sit there and watch even 30% of them as they are being played. Not from start to finish.

I watched many more games in my 40/3 repeating matches. But in general I will tell you the ones that are in both that I for sure enjoy the most:

Engine A thinks he has a line that will win- he maybe shows +1.45- but Engine B has found a winning line of his own- and starts at +1.50 and 2 or 3 moves later his "plus figure" continues to rise. By now Engine A sees his line doesn't win and shows 0.00- But it is still a couple more moves before he realizes he is waist deep in quicksand- from which there is no escape. I just love it when his 5 or so thinking lines are all in red!



Hope this will do-

george


Those games are like curveballs. I like them a lot esp when there are imbalances in material.
