WCEC! Battle for the Best- First Update

[geots]

Houdini 2.0c x64 vs. Rainbow 1.0 beta


Here is the first update, after 46 games- in the challenge for the best- 500 games

I will have to play it by ear- so I cannot guarantee the time of next update. As a couple hours ago my central air unit just quit- which I think is better than the fan running with no cool air coming out. Got calls in to my A/C man- but it is midnight here- and I may not see him till morning. It is questionable as to how long I can let this computer run games- it is 80 degrees F now. Will have to watch it closely. Anyway, the update:


Intel i5 w/4TCs
Shredder 11 gui
1CPU/64bit
128MB hash
Bases=NONE
Ponder_Learning=OFF
HS-Book 2.0 bkt. w/12-move limit
10'+10"
Match=500 games

Code: Select all

Houdini 2.0c x64    +69    +16/-7/=23   59.78%   27.5/46
Rainbow 1.0 beta    -69    +7/-16/=23   40.22%   18.5/46

It is extremely early- a few games short of 1/10th into the match. So we shall see.



Sweating as I type-

There will be no updates tonight- as the heat made me decide to be safe rather than maybe sorry. My A/C unit was fixed this morning. Condenser was bad, and also caused a relay switch or some crap to short out. But all is well now. I am cool once again, but my wallet is $145 dollars lighter. That's ok- it was getting too heavy anyway.



Match has resumed-
