Thanks a lot, Matthias!
Seems to work for H2.0b too now?

yes.

No Houdini personalities yet ?

I am surprised that no personality has yet been posted that kicks Houdini 1.5a and Houdini 2.0 around.

Exactly the opposite result here:


Games Completed = 1000 of 10000 (Avg game length = 16.885 sec)
Settings = RR/16MB/1000ms+100ms/M 1375829cp for 200 moves, D 300 moves/PGN:C:\Users\Ani\Downloads\LittleBlitzer\swcr.pgn(5120)
Time = 17556 sec elapsed, 158001 sec remaining
1. Houdini 1.5a x64 520.5/1000 372-331-297 (L: m=331 t=0 i=0 a=0) (D: r=67 i=104 f=120 s=5 a=1) (tpm=97.4 d=11.6 nps=1388744)
2. Houdini 1.5a x64 Aggressive 479.5/1000 331-372-297 (L: m=372 t=0 i=0 a=0) (D: r=67 i=104 f=120 s=5 a=1) (tpm=97.9 d=11.5 nps=1372139)


Summed up the two results, no strength difference, both individual differences are just statistical flukes.

But something seems to be wrong as for 2.0b Pro.
Values don't stay changed after saving to .exe-file.
Calling the same file again after using it, some of the values change somehow to others, tried several times.
Didn't take others then allowed within max.-min.-range but for example queen cannot be fixed to 800, rises to 1105 again and again, static eval from knight set to default 32 is lowered to 20 when matierial value of knight is lowest 400, static value of king doesn't keep 96, goes down to 32 again.
Bishop pair value comes up from 20 to 80 every time I tried.

Oops !

Go back to default values and wait till tomorrow when I shall have access to the engine to sort things out.

Let Queen value stay within 860...1100 to solve the problem.
I shall upload a bugfix tomorrow. I overlooked the correct range for Queen values.

Wow, what a speed!
860 seems to work well.
Thanks again.

I did not need the engine to figure that one out.
I already uploaded a bugfix.
