Endless RoundRobin-tournament updated. Komodo 7a passed Houdini 4. And from now Stockfish 140430 is replaced by Stockfish 5

This seems to confirm what I see in other tests; Houdini 4 is stronger at bullet chess than Komodo 7a, slightly stronger at blitz (up to 5' +3"), but Komodo 7a is stronger from about 10' +5" on up. This appears to be true with either one core testing or 4 core testing. It assumes that only top engines (within 100 elo of the best) are tested and that the tests are run on modern Intel based computers. This is also what I've found in my own testing; the "crossover" level is between 5' and 10' plus increment.

Number of games by Komodo 7a is still on the low side, to be definitive about that...

Correct. Time will tell. Only 38-40 games per day are played. So we will have to wait some more weeks...

Stay tuned.

Seems a bit difficult to follow that Endless RoundRobin... :)

A few days ago Houdini passed in front of Komodo, now again Komodo is ahead... not very stable !

Yes, because Houdini had a very good start against Stockfish 5.
The problem is, that there where to new official releases of top-engines in the last weeks (and short after the EndlessRoundRobin-tournament started).
I hope, that the tournament should now run for a while with the current participants, so the results should become more stable in the next weeks.
