Komodo 3 against Houdini 3

Komodo 3 against Houdini 3

In my tests of Houdini 3 against Komodo 3 the latter performs really nice, scoring almost 40% in 240 games
I tested thus far at two TC levels; 2min 1sec and 4min 2 sec
Funnily the score is the same in percentage, though - as could be expected - the number of draws with the longer TC is bigger.
I intend to continue testing at double TC from 4min 2 sec to 8min 4 sec
Already we have test results from Robert Houdart of Houdini3beta against Komodo 5 at 90min 30 sec where Komodo5 scored 40 % with 120 games Noomen testsuite.
I am curious for the results of Komodo 3 at the longer time control. Perhaps again Komodo 3 will prove to scale better than Komodo 5, as already can be seen in the CCRL testings. At 40/40 it is just 15 ELO points behind Komodo5. Where at 4/40 the difference is 42 ELO points.

Code: Select all

Unhappilly I made a mistake with the TC, I didn't double correct, made it 8m+2s instead of 8m+4s. The first run with 60 games ended with Komodo 3 scoring exactly 40%
The second run with 8m+4s resulted in 39,16% for Komodo 3
So from 2m1s, 4m2sec to 8m2s and 8m 4s it is all the same about 60% score for Houdini 3
I don't have Komodo 4 and 5 so I go on with Rybka 4.1
