From a respectable and an independent engine tester, Sedat Canbaz:
Finely (in the end of 2010) SCCT's strongest chess engine is 'Houdini 1.5 x64 T4'

Congratulations to Robert Houdart !!!

Houdini 1.5 x64 T4's Performance is just Incredible so far,in other words almost:'Perfect' !!
After 400 games,Houdini performed +73 elo better than Rybka 4 x64 T4 (default)
Note:during Houdini test,it was used slightly different version of Perfect 2010 book (private)

-My Congratulations/Admirations to IM Vasik Rajlich too,i have never noticed a such superior Performance by other engine to stay on 'TOP' for a such long time !!

And of course i am so THANKFUL and my BIG RESPECT for the works/efforts... of the rest Engine Authors too !

Best Wishes,
Sedat

In my opinion this is enough games to determine which of the 3 engines is strongest at this time control. More games are needed for strength difference however.

This is just absolutely f*cking amazing.

It's like someone is beating Michael Jordan 30-4 in a 1-on-1 basketball game.

After one week working non stop, here you have the results of this test. 100 games at 60 minutes per game. Houdini 1.5 against DR4 SSE4.2 and the IvanHoe compile (Peterpan) that leads the ranking of my tests:

Computer: i7 975 4 real cores + 4 Hyper Thread. (But HT: Off)
Fritz Benchmark: Speed 26,73 KNS 12.828
GUI: Fritz 12
Book: Masterbook 3.1
Time control: 60 minutes per game.
Ponder: off
No Robbo, Triple or Nalimov Bases

201012Houdini_15_60min 2010

Houdini 1.5 x64(x4) - Deep Rybka 4 SSE42 x64(x4) 31.0 - 19.0 +17/=28/-5 62.00%
Houdini 1.5 x64(x4) - Ivanhoe B50kBx64p(x4)BO 30.5 - 19.5 +15/=31/-4 61.00%

The superiority of Houdini 1.5 is huge at this Time Control. A big THANKS to Robert Houdart for this brilliant X'mas gift!.

Here you have the games:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EFTIWP3S
