Re: Houdini 3 Oct 10 Release??
It's always possible that Houdini 3 will have some new algorithm that would help any engine, in which case I expect someone will discover that by comparisons to Ivanhoe. But more likely the improvements will only be of the type that will help other Ippo-derivatives, such as tuned values for the eval terms, in which case it will be no help to us. So far we have gotten only a handful of elo points from ideas attributed to Houdini on this forum, and not much more than that from Ippo ideas other than those in common with Stockfish.Dr.Wael Deeb wrote:The Komodo team is chasing a moving target and believe me it's not that easy ta catch up and release a proper chess engine let alone to gain success commercial wise.......Lion wrote:Well, not sure that would be commercially wise....
Folks who just spent some bucks on Houdini would then likely not spend quickly some more money for a 2nd engine.....
Another point of view is that they'll take a closer look at Houdini 3....after all it will be the current moving target to catch up with

Would it be possible to get houdini 3 for android?
Also would it be possible to get Komodo MP (5, 6, whatever the version will be) for android?
Thank you

From Houdini FB :
The Houdini 3 release will be made next Monday 15 October, sorry for the delay.
We're currently trying to figure out the best way to offer Houdini 2 customers an upgrade discount, unfortunately PayPal doesn't propose discount codes by default.
Have a nice week-end and see you on Monday!

Robert waits for Sting SF 3 and it is a good decision.
Maybe, I can't be friendly, but let me be useful.

My guess is that
houdini3 is going to be at least 41 elo better than houdini2 in the ipon rating list.
I am going to wait to the ipon rating list before deciding if to buy houdini3 and we are going to see who is right.
68-13 for houdini and performance of 3090 when houdini2 has only 3037 in the ipon rating list.
