It is amazing that even at LTC you get results like this:

Houdini 3 - Houdini 2.0c match: +48 -15 =57
76.5-43.5 (+94 Elo ± 42 Elo).
Astonishing!!

Friday 12th or Oct. 15 release date.
Houdini 3 test about 40-60 elo stronger than Stockfish?
That's about what Houdini 1.5 tests now in my tests.

Best,
Gerold.

Where do you read 40-60 elo stronger than stockfish?
Even the relatively bad result of houdini is 82 elo stronger than stockfish.

Houdini 3 - Stockfish 2.3.1 match: +44 -16 =60
74-46 (+82 Elo ± 42 Elo).

That just demonstrates once again that self-play (i.e. playing related engines) overstates rating differences.
