Houdini will not win the tournament.........

Cool

[S.Taylor]

And now, if in the last game, Critter loses, Rybka draws, Houdini wins, who will be considered the winner?

Whichever engine has the best tiebreak score.

Thanks for such an interesting match.

If you count only the last 21 games, Houdini would have had a resounding victory.
Therefore if all the difficult 9 first games can be well explaned why it lost a few times,

Therefore if all the difficult 9 first games can be well explaned why it lost a few times (besides mere statistics), then that may yet redeem the impression of the quality of play that Houdini 3 has.

You seem a bit obsessed. 70 Elo points difference is a lot? That's the difference of Houdini 3 from the field. Well, these 70 Elo points mean 6.0:4.0 _average_ score of Houdini 3 versus X in 10 games, with good probabilities to get some say 4.0:6.0. If you admit that, and admit that Houdini 3 is not bound to win every game, nor every tourney, then you will wonder less when Houdini is not on top.
