Lc0 just lost in CCC3 to Houdini after +3 evaluation with white. Endgame blunder of course .

Of course Alphazero is stunning achievement! But so far not better than Stockfish only alternative approach. BTW in 22 move loss game A0 is already lost after 12.-Nb6 based my short analysis. May be 12. -Nf8 can still save game?

Critter 1.6a is basically Houdini 1.5. And Houdini 1.5 is fastest in some testsuites. Doen't mean ANYTHING .

CPUs: 2 x Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 @ 2.70 GHz 33 MB L3 Threads: 90 threads with HT on

Is this much faster than TCEC hardware here : 2 x Intel Xeon E5 2699 v4 @ 2.8 GHz Cores: 44 physical?

So far Houdini seems to like HT.

I only looked so far for TCEC opening games. AO seems to be sometimes like patzer and loses in 22 moves to outdated SF :o .

Stockfish 1.0 from 2.11.2008 is 64 bit. 100 games against SF 10 with 4 cores both. Game in 1 minute. Result: 0 - 100. SF 10 won all games! Some serious progress :) . There were two 20 move wins. Here's one. [Event "1 vs 10"] [Date "2018.11.30"] [Round "15"] [White "Stockfish 10 64 BMI2"] [Black "Sto...

I don't remember SF to crash in years. GUIs like Arena and Chessbase crash occasionally, but no SF! But I don't test illegal FENs.

Official (free) webpage was really rock bottom. Small board, blurry, unstable. And analysing engine looks like from 1990 .
