1 elo difference is not convincing and I am not sure that komodo continue to earn more from time when you double the speed(I can see diminishing returns from doubling in the difference between houdini and komodo so it may be possible that at longer time control than 120/40 the gain that komodo earns relative to houdini is zero and houdini is at the same level as komodo at 120/40 or slower time control).


1 ELO doesn't mean anything , the error margin is over 20 ELO for both programs. My point is that this is pretty powerful evidence that Komodo scales better than Houdini 1.5, I don't know the precise level where it becomes superior but one would have to bury his head in the sand and ignore all data to believe that this is not the logical conclusion.

It seems oddly illogical to think that the trend will suddenly reverse or stop - do you have some sound basis for thinking that is likely or are you just saying that anything is possible, even when there is no supporting evidence we can identify? I am willing to entertain any good theories you have on this and maybe they can even be tested.

The diminishing returns you noticed is not odd at all, in fact it would be really odd if that didn't happen wouldn't it? With each doubling BOTH programs continue to improve and it gets more and more difficult to win a game for EITHER program. It's logical that the better scaling program would increase it's score with each doubling but not by a constant factor. I think it's pretty illogical to see this as being an odd thing or indication that there is a scaling issue.
