*Some Notes about SCCT Auto232 Rating List:
------------------------------------------------------------
• Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 6c is tested on my latest new hardware:i7 980X @4.33GHz 6 cores (HT OFF/Large Pages ON)
• i7 980X @4.33GHz 6 core machine seems to be 70-80 ELO stronger than i7 920 @3.0GHz/QX9650 @3.66GHz
• i7 980X @4.33GHz's chess engines kns values are approx. 2 times higher than i7 920 @3.0GHz/QX9650 @3.66GHz
• Chess Engines using 1 core or 4 cores are played on my Quad machines (i7 920 @3.0GHz/QX9650 @3.66GHz)
• Strelka 5.1 has superior results so far (same strength as Houdini 2.0 Pro x64) - Congrats to Jury Osipov!
*Unfortunately, Strelka 5.1 engine still crashes and i hope those error bugs will be fixed in the next release
