i dont see houdini yet.
im sure Houdini wont be;im Houdini register the tournament,and he wins,none result will be 'positive' for him,but if rybka wins,Houdini will receive a 'bad beating',and that isnt good for his reputation
p.s.i support Houdini,and i dislike rybka,for the ocasional reader
p.s.i support Houdini,and i dislike rybka,for the ocasional reader
wow. its a shame maybe for houdini not to join when rybka engine is there to prove who is the best? i use both engines but mostly houdini for now. since 99.999% use houdini in playchess.com, i was hoping that the majority of houdini engine users want to see the HOUDINI engine perform in this kind of tournament of engines, do they? just a comment, no argument.
well,when one engine is the best,like Houdini,and has nothing to win joining a tournament if he wins,and has too much to losse if he doesnt win the tournament and achives some losses against lets says rybka,why he must join it?
just a thought

I do not know which private engine is the best.
Houdini1.5 or houdini2 is better than Rybka4 but it means nothing about the best houdini and the best rybka considering the fact that Vas released no new rybka in the last year.
I am not sure if people are going to consider Houdini as favourite to win the tournament in case of having both rybka and houdini in the tournament.
Note that when Rybka was the best based on rating lists and a clear favourite to win tournaments it did not stop Vas to participate in tournaments so it seems that the reason that you give for houdini not to participate is not convincing(otherwise you could expect rybka not to participate when she was leading the rating lists).

think that when rybka was the best engine,the 'second' engine was near,lets say,150 elo points below?
so for rybka,was easy to win every tournament,and easier if it was run on the cluster
now think about Houdini,the second engine is only about 25-30 point below?so putting that 2 engines in the same tournament,can be Houdini beaten,or not?easy answer:yes...so Robert claims:my engine is the strongest engine on the worl!and is true...but...if you put to play Houdini with the other engines that are near of him by only 25-30 points,and Houdini start lossing games and tournaments (that will occur,since Houdini isnt 150 elo points or 200 like rybka was),how Robert will claim that?people will say,yes,you tell your engine is the strongest in the world,but losses the tournaments
a very simply form to avoid it,and continue telling his engine is the stronger in the world without any single lost tournament?
dont participating in any tournament

No. Even for the strongest engines it is important to show it's strength again and again, and to have reports of this strength in all sources.
(Or did someone remember that Vas stopped tournament participation when Rybka became No.1?)
Isn't it the poor truth: Houdini is not allowd to participate?
Or: Robert doesn't really feel, that Houdini is his child enough to present Houdini in that public!
Quap

Totally right,and i agree with you my friend,but is what Robert seem to do

No. I even recommended the CSVN to invite all the programs of the top 10 of the rating list and call their tournament 'The strongest computer chess event ever'.

The most important engine is there. Nice to see Rybka in competition action again.
I suspect other programmers may be boycotting, but that is their loss and their stupidity if so.

maybe but it leaves the field weak and meaningless for the winner......
Critter is decent, depending on hardware.
It's good to see Rybka back.
It's good to see Rybka back.
critter ''decent''?
the ''decent'' engine is 22 elo points stronger than rybka based just in 1 core,so it doesnt need a strong hardware like seem you claim,you can see the ipon list

if rybka plays with cluster then what >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
> if rybka plays with cluster then what >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It shouldn't lose a single game or draw probably!
only to find out if rybka still rules if houdini joins bcoz most of us use houdini anyways. we want to see the engine we are idolizing to use perform VS other top engines.
> we want to see the engine we are idolizing to use perform VS other top engines.
Hi mocha, I'd like to see it too, but 300 cores against 16 or so is overkill!
i guess for houdini to be competitive with rybka is for them to have houdini be able to support 300 or more cores also. i guess. just a thought.
not really,Houdini running on a fast 64 core system (for example,4 Gh),and being Houdine more than 60 elo points ahead of rybka at every list,and cluster running at 2.5 Gh,it will have near equal elo (only rybka slightly better,but by a very very few elo points,just 15-20 elo points)....
and i recall Houdini running on a 64 core machine,and for the moment Houdini only support 32 core machines
or running on a 32 core machine BUT with a gaining elo of about 40 extra points,like seems that Houdini 3 will have,and that 40 elo points is the same than doubling the cpu's (in terms of elo gaining)

But we know it looses to Highendman, but maybe it cant lose in tournament time control with its depth and tree size

That was before it got to 300 cores.
the force of the cluster is in tournament and against engines that cant reach soo deep plies,etc...but in very long time controls and playing correspondence chess AGAINST HUMANS,the cluster is in a very real disadvantage;a good and strong human,of course,playing just with a good 12 core system(or even with a good 6 core system,if is a very strong player),will surely defeat in a match the cluster,if the cluster runs unattended
that it doesnt measure the strength of the engine,only the strength of the cluster
that is why i told about Houdini wont play the tournament,to avoid something like that yout told

LOL. If Rybka plays with 300 cores then Critter on a quad won't stand a chance.
agree
but in equal hardware,critter will have chances against rybka
rybka playing with cluster only wins for the powerful of the hardware...is the same that in a race,me witha ford,and you wilt a ferrari...even me being a top pilot,you will surely win

Yes here we have Vas cluster on 300 cores at 2.5 gig in far lane. Total 750 gig.
Houdini on 12 cores at 4 gig in near lane. Total 48 gig.

i think your maths are a bit wrong...
the cluster (at 2.5 Gh) isnt more than about 80 elo points stronger than Houdini running on a 16 core system at 4 Gh
the cluster (at 2.5 Gh) isnt more than about 80 elo points stronger than Houdini running on a 16 core system at 4 Gh
The Rybka Cluster, designed, owned and overseen by Lukas Cimiotti, is built from a large collection of electronic and infrastructural equipment,
including twenty-nine motherboards,
six hundred fifty-six gigabytes of RAM,
five terabytes of solid-state disks,
fifty-eight CPU sockets,
and two hundred ninety-six physical Intel Nehalem cores.
vs 12 cores.
hmmmmmm
maybe we ought to update the elo rating system.
296 cores vs 12 cores = 80 elo.
Unless you are saying Houdini is such a badass that the gap has closed to 80 elo.
I dont believe it, Vas is smarter than that.
I think your maths are a bit wrong...
2680GM vs 2600GM is not crushing to me, pretty close.
296 cores vs 12 cores seems crushing.
Unless we say the problem is the weak software, but I believe the commercial version is very strong.

again,you are wrong
Robert uses a 16 core machine,not a 12 core machine
do your maths right
16 cores by 2 by 2 by 2 by 2 = 256 cores so if you double 4 times the 'power' of the machine uses Rober,you get near the cores the cluster has
and Houdini can use 32 cores,and that means ONLY DOUBLING 3 TIMES THE PROCESSORS
so even more for me;if Robert wants to put the engine runing in a 32 core machine at 4 Gh,the cluster is only 3 times doubling processors...well,3 times and a few more,i dont want to use the calculator,if you want,do it yourself
4 times doubling processors scaling at 1,7 level programming like vas claimed is a gaining elo about 150 elo stronger than Houdini,and lets say another 25 elo for the other cpu's to 296
and now you must think the computer running Houdini runs at 4 Gh (from your post cluster at 2.5 Gh) ,and that means is another plus for Houdini of about,lest say,35-40 elo points
now use your ''maths'':
Houdini ahead of Rybka by about 60 elo points,minus 175 elo points that is stronger the cluster,plus 35 elo point from the more speed that have the 32 core system:
60-175+35= -80 elo points,pro to rybka,like i claimed
now lets use a 32 core system,like Houdini is able to use...since using a 32 core system is reducing one double core,is reducing about 35 elo points (i remember you im using the EFECTIVE DOUBLING,NOT REAL DOUBLING,that is why im using only a value of 35 elo points instead of 50 elo points),so if you substract 35 elo points to the total of elo point pro to rybka:
80-35=45 elo points
so in general terms,a 32 core computer runing Houdini at 4 Gh is only about 50 elo points below 'rybka cluster' runing rybka at 2.5 Gh...
do the maths yourself
Robert uses a 16 core machine,not a 12 core machine

16 cores by 2 by 2 by 2 by 2 = 256 cores so if you double 4 times the 'power' of the machine uses Rober,you get near the cores the cluster has

do the maths yourself
Robert if you read this, would you tell us how many cores you are running now.
I thought your system was 2 socket AMD 8 core or 4 socket x 4 core.
I thought when we tested Houdini kns in the beginning your system was slower than my SR-2.
and another thing, why would anyone pay big money to rent the cluster if Houdini for $100 is as strong as you say Jerry.
Someone should tell Anand to just buy Houdini for $100 and SR-2 for $3500, way cheaper than cluster.
do your maths right.
you get near the cores the cluster has
what, you think Robert has how many cores?
I said 12 x 4gig because that is what mine is and I knew my kns was more than Roberts and the cluster should draw or beat mine 100 times out of 100 games, and I assume Vas has best book.
anyway it seems I am a bigger fan of the monster 300 core cluster running the commercial version of Rybka than you are.
Houdini on a 12 core system cannot beat the Rybka cluster if both books are best and no bugs, disconnects, no operator errors, etc.
do the maths Jerry. you know you kind of got me excited thinking about the Cluster, maybe it is not near as strong as I thought it was.
I put SuperGM at 2850, Houdini at 3100 and cluster at 3300.
SuperGM on a good nights sleep, Houdini on 12 and Cluster on 300
do the maths.
Dont take elo so serious, it is just a tool to keep a group of humans in some type of order for a short period of time.

if Robert is running an AMD,his system is slower,BUT MY MATHS ARE RIGHT
is as symply as you need improve your maths
take a 32 (NO AMD) CORE SYSTEM RUNNING AT 4 GH,and do the maths yourself,i made it for you,but seems that you dont understand a symply maths:
a 32 core system runing at 4 gh,is only about 50 elo points weaker than the cluster rybka
if you dont understand that from 32 cores to 256 you only need double 3 times the cores,and the real doubling gain elo (with a scaling of 1,7) is about 150 elo points,is your problem,not mine
and as i claimed,a 32 core system is only 50 elo points weaker than the cluster,so if you substract 16 cores,you must add 35-50 elo point,so a 16 core system (NO AMD) runing at 4 Gh IS ABOUT 80-100 elo points weaker than the cluster only!
again,you are wrong with your maths,not me

If Robert has 16 cores then
why 32 core, I thought we decided HT should be off for chess programs.
Rybka is #1 in my book with 300 cores and unknown commercial Release above 4.1 strength.
With 300 cores maybe Houdini cannot even draw in tournament time control against Cluster Rybka.
It is everyone else playing for second place.

I do not understand your post.
If Robert has a 16 core pc then he has 32 threads available with HT on.
He does not have 32 cores available.
I tested HT and it didnt do much for my system so I just run 12 threads with 12 cores and HT off.
I dont like silicone breasts, I dont like HT, I dont like bad breath, I dont like big buts on women, and I dont like Monty Python.
I cannot care too much about an elo rating, there are many variables with that word, in computer programming and in human play.
It is a much needed system and I respect it, but it is misleading info sometimes.
I respect the energy that you were putting in your posts, but at this point in my understanding no one is going to downplay the Strength of "The Unreleased Cluster Version" of Rybka on 300 cores. I have gathered all of the cluster games I could find and ran them through my 12 core system and I am convinced it plays on another level that any program on standard hardware is just playing for second "in tournament time control" "unattended".
Now if someone wants to play one move in three days using multiple computers, with Idea or Aquarium and esp if he has a respectable rating then this is a lethal combination such as in WBCCC and the Cluster Rybka can lose to this combo.
sincerely yours,

That's exactly right. On my 12 core I've turned HT off as has every sensible person.
take a look

and perceive the correlation about the strength of Houdini 2 running on 12 cores and cluster rybka running 40 cores,and extrapolate the results to what i said about Houdini running on 32 cores and Rybka cluster running on 296 cores,and tell me who is wrong,you or me
the same correlation,ratio 1/3
who is stronger,Houdini at 12 cores or Rybka playing at 40 cores?

i think everyone is missing the point here,cluster is not running Rybka 4.1.
> i think everyone is missing the point here,cluster is not running Rybka 4.1.
Yes I was thinking that too. Even on equal hardware private Rybka is much stronger than Critter 1.4.
Relatively new critter is 22 elo points stronger than a very old version of Rybka(the commercial version).
My guess is that Critter is weaker than the newest Rybka that only Vas has on equal hardware(even when you do not consider the fact that Rybka is probably going to use better hardware.
I am not sure if latest rybka is better or worse than latest houdini on equal hardware but I am almost sure that latest rybka is better than latest critter on equal hardware.

Houdini is stronger than Rybka,you can be make a tournament in your machine:
pick Houdini 2.0c against rybka,run a lets say 200 games tournament (4m +2s),and you will see the result
p.s. if you want run a faster tournament,run a 2m+2s
pick Houdini 2.0c against rybka,run a lets say 200 games tournament (4m +2s),and you will see the result
p.s. if you want run a faster tournament,run a 2m+2s
I am sure that houdini2.0c is better than Rybka4.1 but it is not relevant for the question if latest houdini(that is not the public houdini) is better or worse than latest rybka.
well,from what i read at the page that Houdart has at facebook,the current development of Houdini is about 40 elo points stronger (or it will be 40 elo points stronger) than Houdini 2
and that means that will be about 100-110 elo poins stronger than rybka,that at the moment,still havent a release date (Houdini is released for september,but from his word,may be even sooner)

dont believe all Robert says,i for one find no diff between 1.5a and 2,at anything apart from blitz.I think you will find same with his latest offering.
Old saying.
You can con most of the people most of the time but not all people all the time.
In the meantime Robert will have made a lot of money out of blitz players.
In a game i played against Ruben,Harvey asked why Ruben why he did not play Hiarcs book move,Rubens reply was simple and to the point.Because it loses.
Moral of story be careful of some book lines.

i lost one of my correspondence chess game,because i was stupid,as easy as that...having the new Hiarcs opening book,i started using it...when were remaining a lot of games (lets say,300 games in the book,or maybe more),i played the move marked in the book like the best,without double checking it with the engine...and the moving marked in the opening book like the best,losses the game...
when i played it,thinking was a good move,and i saw the reply of my opponent,and i saw the scores going higher and higher,my face was something like
edit:about the elo gaining between Houdini 1.5 and 2.0,was really very little...but well,lets see if Robert keeps his promisses...if he keeps it,i will continue trusting in him,if he doesnt keep it,i will stop trusting in his words
when we started playing corr games in this forum i mentioned to Harvey he shoud take notice of them,he ignored my advice preferring to rely on playchess blitz.
you gave him a very very good advice,since the correspondence games that we play,are very good to improve the opening book they are releasing...and always will be better our correspondence chess than the playchess blitz
and knowing that,im pretty sure that the move i found at the book marked like good,when it was a lossing move,it was collected from playchess blitz games,because with an analisis of only 30 hour,Houdini found it was a lossing move
