Rybka 5 or Fritz 16

Robert, Houdini 3, 4 and 5 - all three of them are great engines for my chess games analyses. Houdini 5 plays truly awesome chess and is a huge step to the next level of top chess engines. Do you intend to develop Houdini further as next year by this time to release Houdini 6, or this is the last ve...

the topic should speak about the future Houdini, not the past Houdini. Sadly, still no news...It makes no sense a final between Houdini 20.07.2016 and Stockfish 8, the latter is too strong. The result would clearly favour Stockfish

Graham, do you have any news about the engines mentioned above ( Hiarcs and Shredder )?. What about Fire, Junior and Houdini? Best regards! BTW: I...

For exciting games and less draws: 1. less time - 60'/15" or 90'/30"- or without increment 2. every engine on maximum 8 cores 3. Jeroen Noomen test suites, Silver test suite, Arasan test suite, critical lines and sharp variations of many openings 4. the final should be played on a single core for ea...

Great work, Bram, can you post a pgn file of the games?
