Is there any way to retain (or get back) the old versions? Hard to tell as I don't even know where the engines are stored on my drive. I updated to version 1.2 without issue. I hope that was not a mistake. You can create a backup folder and store the previous versions there, before you upgrade, so ...

Yeah, 'Son of Sorrow' is about right. I remember a friend of mine of master strength was a regular Benoni fanatic, but had his hands full with it whenever facing stronger opposition. It still has its fans among masters, though. I still believe it could work as a surprise weapon, and maybe just in mu...

OK, thanks for the clarification.

T Right, I myself don't play the Benoni for that same reason, but it still appeals to certain human players who like murky positions that are ripe for c...

Much too easy to criticize from one's armchair. I for one am glad they're involved in testing as many engines as they are. If you have all these ideas on how to improve things, you could offer up some friendly suggestions. :| I do believe that is exactly what was done. Chessbase sold Houdini for ma...

So this rating was taken before the NN addition which Houdini is listed on top of ethereal, if Houdini 6 is a clone CCRL and TCEC should stop testing them :?: http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/4040/ Houdini hasn't been a part of TCEC since Season 17, around the time that Houdini 5 and 6 were discovered...

The following diagram comes from a game where Black does win convincingly from the Black side of a Benoni, against a worthy opponent (let's say stronger than the current human World Champ).

Or maybe go back to classical eval?
