I heard that Houdini 2.0 uses

5D717974702A2020202020202020202020202020202020202020202020201E2328161C1E20

Therefore to transform Houdini 1.5a into beast, merge with Blaze setting

Maybe that creates a beast stronger than Houdini 2.0 ?

The granularity is very high, so use HoudiConfig 1.2

is the already merged setting. Copy and paste into HoudiConfig 1.2

Hello Neel:

I see that you are new to TalkChess, so be welcome!

HoudiConfig has seven versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6) and the last one should be the best, which is also the only I have, so I have uploaded HoudiConfig 1.6 for you:

HoudiConfig.zip (1.16MB)

The use of HoudiConfig is very simple.

Regards from Spain.

"quick and dirty" tool.

I hope tweaking will add 200 Elo points to Houdini 1.5a !

Re: HoudiConfig 1.7 is released!

Post by Ajedrecista »

Hello:

I read about this release in Chess2U Forum yesterday; I was hoping that someone in this forum would post here... it seems that I have to do it! ;)

HoudiConfig for Houdini 3 is available!
Thomas Miller wrote:HoudiConfig for Houdini 3 (Only Works With Original Versions not cracked ones)

HoudiConfig 1.7
http://www.chessgui.com/chess/HoudiConfig.zip
So, only original copies of Houdini 3 can use HoudiConfig 1.7, that should still work with previous versions, as far as I understood; Thomas Miller also asks to Robert if the default piece values are the following ones:
Thomas Miller wrote:@Robert, the "Default Values" button doesn't work properly, or this is correct?

93 pawn value
400 knight value
400 bishop value
600 rook value
1100 queen value
42 bishop pair value
These values seem strange to me, but I guess that CLOP by Rémi Coulom is involved in some manner. Of course I do not know if that version is original or not.

Have fun!

Regards from Spain.

Hello Jesus,
Are you saying that version 1.6 is best, and not the newly released 1.7?
Sorry for the confusion. :?
