And it is always fun to see the strongest humiliated a bit by losing from a position that they initially evaluate as +7.5.

Thank you for that, it was fun to watch. I agree with you about Houdini, absolute crap. It can't play mp3 music either.hgm wrote:because people claim it is the strongest engine in the World.

For the other side it can sometimes win, though.

Of course I am getting his point!!

You are not getting HGM's point, which sticks a finger in a very interesting AI wound. There were some interesting threads about it before.

Maybe I did not get your extension. Why did you mention something that has nothing to do with chess?K I Hyams wrote:Of course I am getting his point!!

Because the exercise that he has set up completely confounded the evaluation of Houdini. The point was that if you set a machine onto something that it is not designed to do, it will not do it particularly well. Houdini is not designed to play mp3 files and that is the reason why it is not a particularly good mp3 player.michiguel wrote:Maybe I did not get your extension.

You are deliberately missing the point.hgm wrote:But Houdini is designed to play Chess, and this is a legal Chess position...
Of course you could argue that this position is not likely to occur in a real game. (But of course, apart from positions just a few moves from the opening, no single position really is.)
Yes, it's quite interesting to see that the classical material values are only valid for a game with a "normal" number of pieces.hgm wrote:Btw, it cannot be really taken against Houdini that it loses with the Queen. As far as I could determine three Queens is really badly lost against 7 Knights. (Which, in itself is a remarkable observation turning the usual conceptions about piece values thoroughly upside down. And using a stong engine to verify that is what I would call legitimate use of the engine...)
