So what? It is a major milestone and its not often we get to see major implementations. Why do you want to discourage these news announcements when its free and seems to be improving steadily and has a team of dedicated followers.shrapnel wrote:That's fine and dandy, but at the rate at which Stockfish is being updated, it will soon be obsolete.
Of course that is the point. You think there is no point in any engine having regular updates as it is steadily closing the gap against commercial engines! I guess your sense of an impending gloom (Stockfish surpassing Houdini) is actually going to be a reality soon thanks to these pointless updates!!!So not much point I think.
what is your estimate when stockfish will surpass houdini. or at least current version.Mithu wrote: Of course that is the point.

You got it all wrong, Mithun bro, I'm no Houdini fanboy.....I just go with what is the best.Mithu wrote:So what? It is a major milestone and its not often we get to see major implementations.

Had it been any announcement of Houdini I think there would be a celebration by the fanboys with numerous posts praising the almighty Houdini for a mere 10 elo raise!

If I may ask, go where? In other words, what exactly do you do with chess engines? Why does having the "best" matter? Surely you can't even earn a draw against either of these, so you not using them to play against.shrapnel wrote: You got it all wrong, Mithun bro, I'm no Houdini fanboy.....I just go with what is the best.
Hi Duncan. Stockfish will not surpass Houdini for sometime if at all. I have been testing the latest updates. They are about the same elo as SF3 which was the latest improved SF. I would love to see a free version of SF or any other engine free or not top Houdini.duncan wrote:what is your estimate when stockfish will surpass houdini. or at least current version.Mithu wrote: Of course that is the point.
