Well, if they differ, one of the two must be wrong. It should not be difficult to figure out which of the two. There are hundreds of engines that do it right. I use neither Houdini nor Stockfish, so I wouldn't know. There is a clear standard for how scores should be reported, however (centiPawn), b...

Hi George / Linda, Any updates of the match between SF and Komodo? Looking forward to it. Best wishes, Koh, Kah Huat We really thank you for your interest. We are about a week behind doing this match. George has been having a really rough go of it, and I cannot do much without him. He has not been ...

Most of what I am typing here for you guys is the writing that George gives me. Don't misunderstand and think he treats me like a robot- could not be further from the truth. I have permission to change wording or phrases if I choose- sort of do my own writing. Sometimes if he feels up to it he will ...

9 games have now been completed, and it is very interesting. Please note the change: After the first 2 draws I posted early this morning, and got in the bed with george- he told me he had been thinking and wanted to change it to the best of 24. Which means it will take 12.5 points to win the match. ...

After 2 games have been completed:

Game 1- drawn (Houdini white)

Game 2- drawn



Thank you,

George asked me to tell you he was able to sit at the computer long enough to start a match between Houdini 3 64 and Komodo 6 64. It is a "Best of 12" and is being run on 6 Cores. Here are the specifications he gave me to post: Alienware AURORA_R4 Intel i7 w/6 True Cores Factory overclocked Fritz 11...

I am typing what george has written. I don't really understand any of it- such as no. of cores, etc. So here it is: "If possible, I am going to run a 6-Core match between Komodo 6 and Houdini 3. It will be at a time control of 60'+15". More than long enough to be classified as a long time control. I...
