Stockfish 2.0: How much stronger?

[Roger Brown]

it is at least not entirely impossible that the new Stockfish will be the strongest iOS chess program

Wow !

This is one of the ultra rare occasions in which you don't indulge on your legendary underestimation-pessimistic view of SF performances...I have to remember this day

Hello Marco,

Slow down a tad and let an oldster coach you.

Roger Brown is an honest man is a positive statement. It means he can be relied on to tell you that he has stolen your money if he has in fact done so.

I know of no reason to say that Roger Brown is not an honest man is an entirely different thing. It looks the same on casual inspection but it is a world away from the first statement.

Number two is how Tord spoke above. It is not entirely impossible is Tord speak for perhaps just impossible.

Do not worry, he will find a way to express his usual brand of incredible modesty and pessimism.



All the best for the New Year Marco! As is usual when there is a release of your engine the buzz surrounding it is deafening!

Later.

I run a tournament between the 32 bit versions of Stockfish 2 and Houdini 1.5 on a dual core 2.53GHz laptop. The result after 10 games is 50 %. To early to draw conclusions.
