From the results I see so far, Houdini 1.01 is not your run-of-the-mill derivative and plays exceptionally well in endgames and has a very positional style. I have not run the 4CPU version as much as the 1CPU, but I haven't had any crashes with either.

The conditions are similar to my endgame tests. 4" per move, to preclude time management which should otherwise equate to CCRL 40/4 time controls as far as average time per move is concerned. Shredderbases, Nalimov's 3-4-5 EGTB's. 30 pseudo-random starting positions at a depth of about 12 repeated with switched colors. Games available upon request...

Thanks Martin. Houdini appears to be very strong.

Best,
Gerold.
P.S. Where is Fire 1.3.
