Houdini 5 dev in TCEC
Robert has really improved engine. In CCRL, CEGT and IPON Houdini 4 was 119, 154 and 137 points below Komodo 10.1. So progress has been around 140 ELO! Also the qualification to superfinal was the greatest surprise in last ten years or ever!!

Maybe because Houdini 5 was not in the test set of the other engines.

I bet it was for the Komodo Team too, albeit an unpleasant one !Jouni wrote:the greatest surprise in last ten years or ever!!
Imagine the sheer ARROGANCE of using Contempt 10 against Houdini in the first game of Stage 3 !
Luckily for them, the Backup Plan worked, and the Game was called off.
Full Marks to Robert Houdart, who had full Faith in his Engine and persevered without complaint.
In the end Truth and Justice Prevailed.
Amen.

The settings problem wasn't Komodo team fault, and you have to know that.shrapnel wrote:I bet it was for the Komodo Team too, albeit an unpleasant one !Jouni wrote:the greatest surprise in last ten years or ever!!

I m not as expert as Mark or Larry are, but I have the feeling than the contempt 7 was probably too much for this stage, but the impact of it might have been non existent

You're right about the Contempt, though.
Contempt 7 was ridiculous !
Perhaps Contempt -7 would have been more appropriate.

Plagiarizing other authors code and adding it to your program to make it stronger is not doing work; it is called pirating.Jouni wrote:Robert has really improved engine.

Re: Houdini 5 dev in TCEC
Of course contempt 7 was too high for the games with SF and Houdini, but probably too low for the other five opponents. Overall at least close to the right value, maybe 5 or 6 would have been a tad better. But that wasn't the main problem. The main thing is that Komodo just moves too fast in general in these games, and I think we finally figured out why and what to do about it, but too late for this year's TCEC.JJJ wrote:The settings problem wasn't Komodo team fault, and you have to know that.shrapnel wrote:I bet it was for the Komodo Team too, albeit an unpleasant one !Jouni wrote:the greatest surprise in last ten years or ever!!

Re: Houdini 5 dev in TCEC
I hope it will give you some nice elo Jump. Anyways, it was nice to see Komodo in tough competition against Houdini. And now there is again 3 top chess program. I think it's good for chess.lkaufman wrote:Of course contempt 7 was too high for the games with SF and Houdini, but probably too low for the other five opponents.
