It takes Houdini 52 seconds to switch to Be3, whereas Stockfish needs less than a second. 24/55 0:01 0.00 1...Kd4 2.Ng2 Kc4 3.Ne1 Kd4 (15.914.257) 12185 TB:25 25/55 0:02 0.00 1...Kd4 2.Ng2 Kc4 3.Ne1 Kd4 (25.830.629) 12526 TB:77 26/55 0:02 0.00 1...Kd4 2.Ng2 Kc4 3.Ne1 Kd4 (34.347....

You show no understanding of the real situation. Your game was won by black almost right out of book and both engines knew it looking at the evaluation.

A +1.00 pawn advantage gives a 80% chance of winning the game against an equal opponent at blitz time control. At +2.00 the engin...

Time and again I see houdini being clueless against stockfish of the danger that is upon it until it is too late.
