Re: No Houdini personalities yet ?
By the way: It makes really fun to see how the playing style of Houdini is changed when you alter the settings.

I am surprised that no personality has yet been posted that kicks Houdini 1.5a and Houdini 2.0 around.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I've noticed something with HoudiConfig. If i change Queen value to 1000 and save to .exe, when i load the .exe, it shows Queen value 1,000 (with a comma). Don't know what effect, if any, this might have. Just thought i should mention this.

Re: No Houdini personalities yet ?
Thank you for the tool, Matthias. I also tried the setting to which you refer. I used Chessbase/Shredder 8 and I hex-edited the modified Houdini 1.5a so that the GUI took it to be a different engine to the unedited Houdini 1.5a. I then played about 100 games of a head to head between the 2 versions.Matthias Gemuh wrote:I am quite convinced that 6471788975322020202020202020202020202020202020202020202020201E2228161C1E20 is stronger than default.Chesstiger wrote:Thank you for the tool.

Using the the Perfect v8.1 opening book, the modified version appeared to be substantially stronger than the unmodified version but when I changed to REMIS opening book, the original proved stronger by about an equal amount. The effect of the opening book isn’t clear; the turn around is not particularly unlikely to be just a statistical thing. If your results are likely to motivate me to do a retest, I would be grateful if you would post them. Either way, I might try Dave's settings next.

Old versions of HoudiConfig may output cryptic characters at end of parameter string when an exe file is loaded.
That is harmless. I simply forgot to null-terminate the parameter string. It is not used anywhere else.

I played only a 4-rounds RR with 8 engines at TC 2'+1" and did not keep results.
