What does Houdini behave like?

Post by jplchess »

For example, Rybka behaved like Crafty, Toga, and Ippolit.

What are the characteristics with Houdini?

It depends. Sometimes it behaves like Stockfish 1.9, Toga 3.21, and Crafty 9.09, other times it plays a bit like Rybka 1.2f, Fritz 8 (the second patch), Shredder 6.02 with just a hint of je-ne-sais-quoi.
