Houdini is a dead duck.Could not stand Roberts arrogance about chess,all he was was a programmer.

Hi Larry, on my i7-4770k @ 3,4 GHZ I use 40/8 and IIRC Werner and Johann (our main 40/20 testers) have similar machines. Best Wolfgang Thanks! So it's practically the same level as the 5' plus 3" list if you allow for ponder on in that list. A bit longer, but not significantly so. This makes the dr...

The setting of 2 is already the most aggressive; using 9 or 10 would mean fewer tb accesses. Those with very slow hard drives might want to use a higher value than 2, perhaps 6 would be reasonable. Values below 2 seem to just be bad. Things are not so simple as you put it. It would be helpful if Ro...

Brilliant win by Komodo over Stockfish in first game.

And also the following.
