Let's wait and see what will be the new performance of Houdini 2.0t3 x64 6c

Some Notes:
-Houdini 2.0t3 Pc x64 6c is same version as Houdini 2.0t3 Pro x64 6c,just this time is played with another new book:Perfect 2012c
*Actually during the current Houdini 2.0t3 Pc x64 6c test,all its opponents used same Perfect 2012c book too
-Looking at the current early results,it seems the various openings and shorter lines did not make a BIG negative influence over its performance
*But anyway,for a better conclusion: we need more games,probably this number of games between 1000-2000 games will be enough data
-Rybka 4.1 79DT v1 x64 6c is performed slightly better than default,but of course to be sure more games are required...
-I noticed also that in other testings (Non-SCCT results),there are some different standings (e.g i mean especially for Houdini settings)
-From my experience i can say that such different performance is appearing is not due to 95% confidence of error margin or we need at least 5.000 games and so on
*Sure more games is better,but i highly doubt that SCCT standings will be changed a lot,e.g i mean about after 5.000 games player


In other words,
*Of course I can be wrong...but however i have a little bit experience in Computerchess (10 years as Book Maker and 15 years as Tester)
And i strongly believe in that:
-Some SCCT Participants performed higher or lower than others,due to my used conditions are completely different than all available testings
