Again Critter 1.6 plays at its greatest level against the Number One. After 40 games, 20-20. Brilliant!. IvanhoeB50kBg has not played so well. Anyway better than Deep Rybka 4.1. And wait a little bit to see how it works against Houdini 3.0 in my 4 cores computer.

Yes Critter 1.6a has no respect for number one. In 2 different 20 game matches it has won Houdini 3 in my PC, which surprised me a lot .
After Vida has taken look at Houdini 3 we have again competition?

... and this is a big surprise for me!. The old PeterPan's Ivanhoe compile has been able to beat the solid Number One Houdini 3.0 Pro. I know that the number of games is very small and that the book selected Rybka 3.0 offers some advantage for Ivan, but most of the games have been extremely tough. Only one defeat after 20 games against this monster is a great result for Ivan.

I will repeat this test (when the heat of my computer goes down) only to try to avoid -or minimize- statistical noise, but I feel impressed by the performance of this Ivanhoe compile.

Best regards from Barcelona.

Thanks Tom

One of the compiles of Ivanhoe who ia a permanent participant in my rating list.....

However,there is another extremely strong compile by PeterPan that can even perform better.........

Guess what I found on the internet: a previous test of yours, almost two years ago. Houdini 1.5a - against same Ivanhoe compile. In 50 games Houdini 1.5 wins with 61%

Houdini 1.5 at long Time Control: 100 games.

After one week working non stop, here you have the results of this test. 100 games at 60 minutes per game. Houdini 1.5 against DR4 SSE4.2 and the IvanHoe compile (Peterpan) that leads the ranking of my tests:

Computer: i7 975 4 real cores + 4 Hyper Thread. (But HT: Off)
Fritz Benchmark: Speed 26,73 KNS 12.828
GUI: Fritz 12
Book: Masterbook 3.1
Time control: 60 minutes per game.
Ponder: off
No Robbo, Triple or Nalimov Bases

201012Houdini_15_60min 2010

Houdini 1.5 x64(x4) - Deep Rybka 4 SSE42 x64(x4) 31.0 - 19.0 +17/=28/-5 62.00%
Houdini 1.5 x64(x4) - Ivanhoe B50kBx64p(x4)BO 30.5 - 19.5 +15/=31/-4 61.00%

The superiority of Houdini 1.5 is huge at this Time Control. A big :sm67: to Robert Houdart for his brilliant X'mas gift!.
