Incredible Houdini vs R4 match going on.

[Charles]

An amazing match between Rybka 4 and Houdini is ongoing -- close to completion. Rybka 4 was up by I think 18 games after about 150 games and now after 260 games Houdini is up by one game!!!
The time control was 0+4s using 150 positions from klo suite. 4 cpu ponder=off quad Q6600 32 bit 3gb ram. 128Hash each .

Before this match , I had run a smaller match here are the results of that one:
same conditions as above but using 20 position Nunn suite instead. These 2 matches ran in parallel.

Code: Select all

Houdini_w32_4CPU_1.02 - Rybka 4 TC3100150 : 21.0/40 10-8-22 (=0==1===0=1=01=1=1001=11==10====0===1==0)  53% 
Houdini_w32_4CPU_1.02 - Rybka 4 w32       : 21.5/40 11-8-21 (10001=0==0=1==0=====111====1=0====011=11)  54%   

It seemed at this time control not much diff betw the two R4 settings, and Houdini had a slight lead against both

It seems to me that both engines are almost equal in strength --

I will post all the games when the big match is finished (Houdini 1.02 vs R4 [default settings] ) ...its an incredible battle!
