Hi Brent, are you going to rerun the Houdini - Komodo match as well on 10-10 ?

Hi, Bram. Thanks for your interest. Yes, all matches are being re-ran with the new time control. In fact, the Houdini - Komodo match is in progress right now. I place the scores for matches "in progress" on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ATOMICCTesting Once the Houdini - Komodo and the Critter - Stockfish matches are finished in this round, I will update my ratings page, which currently show the standings for 5+5.
Happy chessing!

Another indication of no unlimited better scaling for Komodo4 against Houdini:
Preliminary result at TC 10m 10s of ATOMICC chess by Brent M (in his tweet)
after 56 rounds, Komodo is losing to Houdini by eight: +13/=22/-21 = 44,4 %
After 56 games Silversuite at 5m 5s in earlier test, it was +12/=27/-17 = 45.54%

But lets await the complete test

thx Brent
