This match is closer than a person may think. Look at all theS.Taylor wrote:My internet was down for 6 days. Now i see that Rybka has a big lead.
If it's going like this till now, i don't expect Rybka will suddenly have problems.
To crush Rybka 4, it seems we must wait for a different program, or version.
I guess crushing depends on what one's expectations are. So far, after 28 games, Rybka is performing at +50 Elo.gerold wrote:This match is closer than a person may think. Look at all theS.Taylor wrote:My internet was down for 6 days. Now i see that Rybka has a big lead.

draw games.
Rybka use TB also . I don't think Houdini use TB.
Best,

If Stockfish is capable of gaining more from an i7 due to its use of threads, as opposed to cores, I'd like to see them with ponder off as here, to get a feel as to how much it really gains from the hyperthreading.Martin Thoresen wrote:For the next match I was thinking Houdini vs Stockfish.
BUT
A few choices I have which I can't decide on:
1: Keeping the same format
2: Using 2CPU and Ponder ON, with the same time controls
3: Using 2CPU and Ponder ON, with double the time controls
What do you think?
Also, I will double the hash size to 2048 MB.
Albert, I am not sure I understand you here. Hyperthreading is not enabled in my system and will not be.

You mean, between the two. But if they both played weaker programs, I wonder if Houdini would prove more dangerous vs them.Albert Silver wrote:I guess crushing depends on what one's expectations are.

Obviously, you see what you see, and that makes you curious how they would do vs each other.Martin Thoresen wrote:For the next match I was thinking Houdini vs Stockfish.
