Tecnically there is no such a long streak of non lost games because Stockfish got updated between stages. And the final will be between some Houdini version and a Stockfish version that hasn't played a single game in the TCEC yet.daws wrote:It will be a big test for Houdini in the final playing against an engine that has gone, if I've worked it out correctly, 101 games without defeat. I wonder if that is a TCEC record? Even in some games where Stockfish seemed, at least to a human observer, to have a lost position, it somehow managed to brilliantly get a draw.

I believe the moon landings never happened and illuminatis are behind the 9/11.

So Houdini 5 is as strong as Stockfish? What are the odds!Jouni wrote:Robert has really improved engine. In CCRL, CEGT and IPON Houdini 4 was 119, 154 and 137 points below Komodo 10.1. So progress has been around 140 ELO! Also the qualification to superfinal was the greatest surprise in last ten years or ever!!
I don't know why people claim such stupid things. We watch one stage of the final of TCEC and think we can say just how much stronger Houdini development is relative to Houdini 4. 140 Elo is absolutely ludicrous. Houdini definitely looks stronger; we still need to wait for its eventual release before we can test the bad boy for ourselves to see the true gain. The new Stockfish regression test is showing +65 Elo over Stockfish 7 which is absolutely massive. I would not expect Houdini to put up much of a fight in the final - such as was the case with Komodo. A good prediction for the score after 100 games would be something to the effect of 20-5-75 in favour of Stockfish. It won't be some two or three point difference.Alexander Schmidt wrote:So Houdini 5 is as strong as Stockfish? What are the odds!Jouni wrote:Robert has really improved engine.
