Hi all

the gauntlets are all done. 2000 new games added to my private list "The Base"
I could meassure a small plus of 8 points.
But engine can handle large pages now which might give critter 1.6 another few points.

Don't know about 64bit, as all my cores are busy. But I ran Critter 1.6 32-bit against Houdini 2.0c x32 and a close match, but after watching a number of the games- I will go out on a limb and say I see no difference- hence the 6 elo he mentioned. Not enough to notice it in game play.

I shall see soon in 64-bit, but in 32bit I am afraid that Critter probably falls slightly behind Houdini again. I am not sure what it would take to be "better than" Houdini. Strelka quite possibly holds the key. Problem is that I promise you Robert is sitting on a big elo improvement- and you can bet he will play his cards last. When that happens, it may take Vas to stop him. I just don't know- but it is a huge mistake to underestimate Robert and what he can do.
