Houdini and Rainbow Limited- A Fight To the Finish!

Houdini 2.0c x64 vs Rainbow Limited- beta 2


These 2 engines are taking each other's best punches and coming right back with punches of their own. I wonder if either will be left standing when this match ends.

Over the years I called myself seeing some of the best engine-engine matches ever- but they never approached the fierceness and quality I am seeing now.

I thought I had seen everything, but never have I seen anything approaching this kind of chess. If they were humans I would say they both had the nerves of a riverboat gambler. They are not the least bit afraid of complicated tactical positions.
