I agree. As far as I know other than the two chess gods only Gull 3 can put up a fight against H4. TCEC Season 9 will have the top 8 from two groups move on to stage 2, and the top 8 from stage 2 will move on to stage 3 (candidates). It's a safe bet Houdini will make it to stage 3.Ozymandias wrote:3rd place, Stage 2; 4th place Stage 3.

Re: Houdini 5 in TCEC
Houdini will make stage 3 just fine, especially if he sets contempt to 0.

Re: Houdini 5 in TCEC
This is a big surprise, and a good thing for the chess engine world.
At the same time, I'm noticing that Fritz 15 is not listed among the participants.

I'm very sure we will see Fritz 15 after everyone of us will send a message (=1000) to Chessbase:)

Great news, I always loved its style and I still use it in my analysis.

I hope it will be more than 15 elo change
But I guess it will be, other else, they just would have call it Houdini dev instead of Houdini 5.

Re: Houdini 5 in TCEC
Actually if Robert is planning on release H5 at the end of the year it would be very likely that what we'd see in TCEC9 is a Houdini dev of H5. He'd probably want to keep working on it even after TCEC9 until it's ready.JJJ wrote:I hope it will be more than 15 elo change
