Well Larry, it seems you have trouble admitting Houdini 3 DEV is actually circa 50 ELO stronger than Houdini 2c and I can imagine why, it makes very implausible to have Komodo 5 catching up with the new Houdini Evil or Very Mad

Or maybe it is Houdart's ploy to entice you to get out of the wood and release, at least, Komodo 4.1 to use the rapidly closing marketing window of opportunity to offer the TOP engine in the world!

I think such tactics to hide and carefully wait for the opposition to declare its next move is negative for the community at large. I explained it in a former post which got ignored.


Mr Houdart, Dailey, Vida and other chess engine authors just behind this trio, IMHO you should publish updates to your engines as soon as having say 20 ELO improvement and not delay.

Of course it will make the competition's job easier as each top opponent would adapt and leverage on your new version, but so will you do against them for your next move!

By abiding to this gentleman agreement policy, the computer chess community would witness much more rapid progress toward what really matters: better and better chess!


I think you are way too paranoid if you imagine that is what is going on here. It's foolish to worry about stuff like that because there is nothing you can do about someone else's progress, you just have to worry about your own progress and you have no control over what everyone else does. We are not trying to "time" our releases, we release when it's not too often and when we have something worthy of release.


Well honestly i think Larry seems worry about Houdini development. I could be wrong but i think that Komodo wants to overtake Houdini. But the thing that impresses me more is that Larry keeps on talking about Houdini, it seems to be an obsession.

Don, you said you have a Komodo version much stronger even than 4.1. So the question is natural. Why don't you release it? I don't ask for a MP version. But at least a SP version.

Robert Houdart has specified the improvement of H3 and announced a release date. That's what customers and fans want. If you have a good product right now, why don't you do the same thing?

I've been buying all kinds of engines for years but lately i'm getting tired to buy everything, and i'm getting more tired to wait for something that i don't even know how strong it is.


Thank you.

Best Regards
