The new Houdini 1.03 is available.
Download from http://www.cruxis.com/chess/houdini.htm .
Houdini 1.03 extends the UCI features of the engine with multi-PV analysis, search moves and large memory page support.
The web page contains some explanation of how to use large page support on Windows Vista/7 64-bit.
The evaluation function of Houdini 1.03 is somewhat stronger than previously, I hope you'll enjoy this new release.
Cheers,
Robert

Re: Houdini 1.03 is available
Could you tell me how I can get Houdini 1.02, I just tried installing Houdini 1.03 and it will not work on my machine, Houdini 1.02 worked fine.
I overwrote 1.2 and now I have no Houdini, I used it alot on ICC, very strong engine

What exactly do you mean by "it will not work"?LJC wrote:Could you tell me how I can get Houdini 1.02, I just tried installing Houdini 1.03 and it will not work on my machine, Houdini 1.02 worked fine.

Which version do you use (w32/x64, number of cores), and on what hardware?
