I guess Houdini is now the target because it is #1 on more and more rating lists. If Vas does not care, why should anyone else care. For now I will take Robert's word. He has a better track record then Vas.
My theory is that Robert is an extremely talented programmer who had a +2700 chess engine and after the Ippo/Robbo breakthrough he got several ideas from the source and created a 3300 engine....nothing wrong with that I guess....
As for Houdini being number one,no Sir,it isn't....there are at least 2 chess entities which are stronger than Rybka 4 and Houdini 1.03a....

I see Norm is going to release Fire 1.4, Based on your settings.
I test default settings, You could go crazy trying to test all the program settings. I have to draw the line somewhere. I can't wait to see what you guys have come up with, and I hope it holds up at long time controls. (3 mins a move average)
These settings are optimized and tested at long time controls....I don't play blitz,I hate it
