2 games (SF 2.11 dsmod 1) v. Houdini 1.03

[Dayffd]

Erdo posted parameters for Stockfish 2.11 used at Thuringen (sp?) a while ago that "worked quite well." I made a slight modification to those, and had Stockfish 2.11 play a short, 5 minute blitz, 2 game match vs Houdini 1.03. Below are the games in the event anyone would care to see them.

Hi David
The problem with special settings is that you can play 10 games which give you a very good impression so that one thinks ... that's it. But after 100 or 500 (or even more) games you have to realize that the standard settings are better.
