Well it finally seems to be going to happen, a first win for Komodo 5.1MP against Houdini 3
In my still running 50 games testmatch 4CPU at longer TC 20min 10sec, Komodo now leads with +11 =19 -8 after 38 games (53,9 % )
I don’t think Houdini can manage to equalize this in the upcoming twelve games, but I will keep you informed.
I have Komodo 5.1MP with the setting, drawscore=0 , because it seems to play better against Houdini with that modification.
So finally some good news, from my side, for Don and Larry

Interesting.... what Contempt value is Houdini 3 using ?
If komodo at drawscore=0 gives good results, woudn't it give even better results at drawscore = -100 ?

Houdini's contempt assumes that everyone is far weaker. So Houdini is at a disadvantage playing against the strongest programs. But it's a trade-off. Komodo too has a 7 contempt by default which puts it at a disadvantage against an opponent that is nearly as strong or stronger.
There is nothing to be done about this because there is no way for a program to know what it's opponents strength is in comparison to it's own - at least not with the UCI protocol. So you have to take a guess.
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.

Surely it is - 7 ?!
Is the disadvantage only present when Komodo is Black, not White ?

And the match has ended with 52% for Komodo 5.1MP (with drawscore=0)
This fashionable modern line of the Caro Kann, Komodo won both with white and black pieces
The black game was really nice to watch. After active opening play 5 ..e5! (Houdini played e6) Houdini choose to play rather risky 6 exd5 !? (6 Bd3 was played in a GM game this year by Christian Bauer – Markus Ragger) Komodo sacked two pawns for attacking chances on the exposed white king. And after the nice 17 ..Bg3 ! the advantage was clearly there and Komodo converted this advantage into a queen-pawns endgame with a decisive a-pawn passer.

Hi
On my computer, Houdini 3 refused to play the moves you mention and did not lose.
I have an Intel 6 -Core Processor which I have heard Houdini really likes, unlike AMD Processors.
Of course, Houdini 3 was at Contempt 0.
Houdini 3 at Contempt 0 is IMPOSSIBLE to beat !
