Houdini 2.0c x64 vs Rainbow Limited- beta 2


There is no way I would stop this match on purpose- which being run in Fritz 13 gui means I have no access to the database of games at this time. This control of 5'+5" obviously goes quite a bit faster, and a while after posting the update last night with Houdini having a 2 game lead- I checked the match again. Houdini had gone on a mini-run of sorts, and upped the lead from 2 games to 10 games! And almost 24 hours later- it still remains at 10 games. As in the other match, Houdini takes a lead and it seems to hold there. I would love to see the PGNs and the games where Houdini went from a 2 game lead to a 10 game lead- but not possible at this time. At least not that I know of.


Intel i5 w/4TCs

Ponder_Learning=OFF
Perfect 12.32 book w/12-move limit
5'+5"
Match=500 games

[thru game 175]


Code:
Houdini 2.0c x64           +20    +51/-41/=83   52.86%   92.5/175                                 
Rainbow Limited- beta 2    -20    +41/-51/=83   47.14%   82.5/175




When I run matches, I don't have favorites. All I want to see is an exciting match- which means the closer the better. So naturally I am pulling for Rainbow to even this thing up. On the one hand- I think he is quite capable of it. But OTOH- Houdini is just so damn strong- that it is just really difficult to deal with him in OTB play. But we have 325 games remaining- and a lot of things can happen in that many games.



Again- we shall see,

george
