However, I'm not at all sure if (at game 2 move 53), black, with the 2 bishops, is winning anything. It's been going on for some moves now, and he is at a 2-pawn deficit.

Are the first few moves made in advance (with both having the same with both colours), and opening books switched off after that?Albert Silver wrote:The game score shows they were thinking after move 4.S.Taylor wrote:If 18...Rg8 is NOT a book move, AND Houdini does not lose (and fully equalizes), then I will say that Houdini is great!
(actually, on further examination, i'm wondering if 18...Rg8 was actually a regretable concession, and the mistakes were earlier).

At this point, Game 3 move 34, does Houdini know what it is doing, or doesn't it?
There was some very strange play!
Something very brilliant, perhaps?

Yes, that was a disgusting show from Houdini! Rybka seems to have had the last word.
If Houdini didn't know what it was doing, then why did it do all that?
I don't think black can save the game. I'll come baxk later to see what's happening in game 4.

Just to say thanks for putting such a match together and making it readily accessible.
Length, time control, processing power, engines all make this a heavyweight event.
I'll take a stab and say 26-22 to Rybka.
