Komodo 8 by Chessbase - no more Houdini ?
If Komodo 8 will be released by Chessbase, does this mean Robert Houdart quit the Houdini project? Best regards!

Teodoriu Catalin,
The logic of your question escapes me. What does the release of one chess engine by Chessbase (more correctly, the release of the gui with the UCI executable) have to do with the actions of a chess engine author who is involved on a totally different engine?
Later.

Roger Brown is correct. Think of Chessbase as a woman. If she gives birth to one child, it does not mean that she will not give birth to more children !

Another similarity would be just the same way as a woman is free to marry (and divorce) based on the same reasons .shrapnel wrote:HiFriedmannC wrote:If Komodo 8 will be released by Chessbase, does this mean Robert Houdart quit the Houdini project? Best regards!

It would have been great if they had at least included a set of the 3, 4, and 5 men SyzygyBases on the disc.

Houdini is a dead duck.Could not stand Roberts arrogance about chess,all he was was a programmer.

I think, that Houdart was very clever and made quite a lot of money from Houdini. Any idea how many H3 and H4 were sold?
