[Graham Banks]

GAME 20 - whilst Komodo was focusing on the centre, Houdini infiltrated on the queenside with devastating effect to spoil the party. Houdini takes back the lead with 4 wins to 3.

[Graham Banks]

GAME 21 - Houdini moved to the cusp of match victory with an instructive display showing the power of two bishops over two knights. The score is now 5-3 and Houdini needs just one more win to exact revenge for its defeat in the first match.

Would you say that houdini is a more instructive engine that the best SF?
or the reverse?

[Graham Banks]

GAME 22 - neither side was able to create any concrete chances, although they did make an effort. The draw means that Houdini still leads by 5-3.

Would you say that houdini is a more instructive engine that the best SF?
or the reverse?

I'd never rely on just one engine.

GAME 23 - fittingly, Komodo clawed its way back into the reckoning by winning from the black side of a Dragon. It was a nice win too, showing the power of a central passed pawn in controlling the game. Houdini's lead is now a slender 5-4.

GAME 24 - after opposite side castling, Komodo launched an attack on Houdini's king. In defending, Houdini got a rook trapped out of play, at which point Komodo switched play to the other side and broke through to win. The match is now poised at 5-5!

GAME 25 - Komodo initiated expansion on the queenside with a pawn storm. It gave up a pawn in creating an advanced passed pawn which then forced Houdini to give up the exchange. The rest was just a matter of fine technique. A third straight win for Komodo to take the rematch by 6 wins to 5.
