Houdini 1.5 - increase in strenght at LTC

Increase in strenght at LTC for Houdini 1.5 against DR4

I ve done an expiriment with doubling the TC for the matches between Houdini 1.5 and Rybka 4 with same testpositions.
What I observed is that the gap in ELO doesn't diminish, as some Rybka fans keep on believing, but instead even becomes bigger; from 58% at 3min2sec to 60% at 6min4sec, to 62 % at TC 12min 8sec

So I challenge Jeroen Noomen to replay a 60 games (30 Noomenpositions) match under same TC conditions, 1hour a game each, as he earlier on did between Houdini 1.03a and Rybka 4, but this time with Houdini 1.5

Hat off for Robert Houdart !

The test continues and again Houdini 1.5 shows his strenght in a long TC games match. After the match with 12m 8 sec I continued with 1 hour games
after 14 games H15 leads with 9,5 - 4,5 !

I give 4 games where H15 wins with white and black:
This position occurs in the first

Can you share please the games Pgn ?

Uri Blass · Post by **Uri Blass** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 9:50 pm

I think that it is better to have the same type of time control for comparison.

3+2 6+4 12+8 are the same type

60+0 is not the same type and same type is only 3x+2x for x>4 so
24+16 or 36+24 are good for comparison but not 60+0.

I ve done an expiriment with doubling the TC for the matches between Houdini 1.5 and Rybka 4 with same testpositions.
What I observed is that the gap in ELO doesn't diminish, as some Rybka fans keep on believing, but instead even becomes bigger; from 58% at 3min2sec to 60% at 6min4sec, to 62 % at TC 12min 8sec

So I challenge Jeroen Noomen to replay a 60 games (30 Noomenpositions) match under same TC conditions, 1hour a game each, as he earlier on did between Houdini 1.03a and Rybka 4, but this time with Houdini 1.5

Hat off for Robert Houdart !

Indeed!

I have been playing 30min and 60min games and Houdini is destroying Deep Rybka SSE42x64 4.0. In any event Houdini is living up to it's name and making Rybka 4.0 disappear from the top of the rating lists.

Perhaps, and only now Vas will unleash the fabled "cloud" Rybka ? The fans have surmised that it does exist. Let's see if they were right, or if "cloud" Rybka was just another bedtime story to passify the kids.
Time will tell

Uri Blass · Post by **Uri Blass** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 5:14 am

Based on the rybka forum I read a claim that Rybka is better at very long time control(and results at 40/40 with 8 cores based on the rybka forum is +3 =6 -1 for rybka4)

I do not know if the results are correct and of course we will need to check the games for errors(I remember cases not only about houdini when one program got very small depth at long time control in part of the moves so it was clear that something is wrong)

12+8 may be better than 6+4 and 6+4 may be better than 3+2 for houdini
but the interesting question is if this continue to slower time control of the same type(24+16 or 36+24 or 60+40).

I also wait for the results in 24 hours/game from SCCT.

Latest standings in my Houdini1.5 – Rybka4 match at LTC, 1 hour each

Houdini 1.5 leads after 27 games of 50games with: +9 =16 -2 = 63%
So after 3m2s 58%; 6m4s 60%; 12m8s 62 % I now have 63 % at 1 hour games with the same privat testsuite.

No longer there will be excuses for the Rybka fans as, “it is the contempt factor” or “Rybka is better at LTC” or “program is specially tuned for Rybka”, this Houdini 1.5 is simply better and probably is going to stay number one for a long time.

p.s to Max Anthony I will post the games after the match

I am currently running a short 20 game match at Tournament (Long) Time Controls. Only 6 games completed at this time. Current standing is 4 draws, 2 wins, and 0 losses in favor of Houdini.

In the sixth game Deep Rybka was holding her own untill she took a bite of a poisoned h-pawn at her 32nd move. Then things started to go downhill as four moves later Houdini started driving home the point.

Ponder was on, and each engine used 2 cores.

In the sixth game Deep Rybka was holding her own untill she took a bite of a poisoned h-pawn at her 32nd move. Then things started to go downhill as four moves later Houdini started driving home the point.

Ponder was on, and each engine used 2 cores.

[d]5r1k/4b1pp/3p4/3Bp1P1/qP2Pr1P/p1PRQ3/K2R4/8 b - - 0 32

I had a closer look at the position as well and come to the same conclusion. With Qe8 (as expected by H15) DR4 could probably hold the position, now it suddenly cracked especially after the nice move g6. On my modest Centrino Dualcore, T8100, 2100Mhz, 32 bit 2CPU, Win XP, Fritzmark 6,29, it took Rybka4 about 13 minutes to find the strong 36 g6! H15 took 90 seconds and Stfish 1.9 about 8 minutes.

perhaps worth another diagram:
[D] 5r1k/q3b1p1/3p3p/3Bp1P1/1P2Pr2/p1P3Q1/K2R3R/8 w - - 0 36

have a nice day
