Komodo 8CPU v Houdini 8CPU Match (2 hours + 30 secs)

[Graham Banks]

GAME 40
15.Nxd5 initiates a sequence of exchanges that sees most pieces come off the board. With black's queenside pawn majority looming as a possible threat, Komodo eliminates immediate danger with 26.a4.
However, Houdini is still left with an outside passed pawn plus quuen and knight versus queen and bishop. Komodo forces the exchange of the minor pieces and takes the perpetual check on offer.
The match score is 20.5-19.5 to Houdini.

[Graham Banks]

GAME 41
In a Qd6 Scandinavian, Houdini creates a position similar to that in the French, with a white pawn on e5 cutting off black's white-squared bishop and opening up the kingside for attack.
Komodo defends stoutly, but Houdini plays an absolutely superb game to take advantage of black's weaknesses.
Houdini is now one win away from taking out the match, leading by +5 =33 -3.

[Graham Banks]

GAME 42
Komodo plays the opening in a different, yet equally effective manner, putting a positional squeeze on Houdini and creating a horribly weak pawn on e6.
Houdini resolves the e6 weakness by surrendering a piece for two pawns, but the win is now just a matter of good technique from Komodo.
A crucial victory that keeps Komodo in the match, with Houdini leading by 21.5-20.5.

GAME 43
In a Modern Defence, Houdini forfeits any real chance of gaining an advantage when it plays 9.Nxe5.
Although Komodo initially spurns further trades in the resulting rook and bishop ending, it eventually decides to go into a king and pawn ending. However, the result is always a draw regardless of this.
Houdini leads by 22.0-21.0.

GAME 44
As black, Houdini gives up both knights for a rook and two pawns, plus a more active game. With Komodo's pieces hamstrung on the queenside, Houdini advances its e and f pawns, establishing a passer on e3.
There seems to be an impasse though, with Komodo covering all bases. Houdini chooses to open up the kingside and change the material imbalance, giving itself three pawns against an extra piece.
However, there is still nothing in the position for either side and the game ends in a draw. A great battle regardless.
Houdini leads by 22.5-21.5.

1/2-1/2[/pgn]

[Graham Banks]

GAME 45
Just as Houdini feels it might be making headway, Komodo dampens those thoughts with a tactical sequence of exchanges.
To the credit of both engines, they seek ways of trying to squeeze out an advantage by creating outside passers on opposite sides of the board. There is nothing to be gained though and a draw is the final result.
Houdini leads by 23.0-22.0.

GAME 47
A thoroughly interesting game in which there is thrust and counter-thrust throughout. Komodo eventually holds the draw in the endgame by trading off into a rook pawn with bishop of the wrong colour position.
Houdini leads by 24.0-23.0.

GAME 48
Komodo plays more solidly as white, trying to create a positional edge. However, the position becomes deadlocked fairly early and with neither side prepared to do anything, a draw eventuates.
Houdini leads by 24.5-23.5.

GAME 49
In a 2.Bg5 Dutch which seems to be going nowhere fast, Houdini uncorks 24.Nxd5, giving up a piece for two pawns.
This gives Houdini connected passers on the b and c files, with the possibility of picking up the weak black a-pawn to create a third.
After committing Komodo's defences to the queenside, Houdini then blasts the kingside open with 48.g4.
Komodo desperately tries to stave off disaster with 58....Rxc3, going into an endgame the exchange down, but Houdini is just too good and goes on to win.
Houdini has won the match by being first to win six games (+6 =39 -4), but I'll play the return game regardless.
