Hi,



Anyone had a muck around with Houdini?

I rate it. I think it finds the best lines much quicker than Rybka 4, and even over the space of a few moves I think it outplays/finds better lines than Rybka.

For example we were studying a Dragon line with Frank when he was preparing for Svetosar and Rybka analysed a long time and gave advantage to black. Houdini found Kb1 pretty much instantly and once you progress it a few moves in Rybka it changes it's mind to agree with H...

I also played them off in a couple of games on my dodgy laptop which Houdini won 1.5/2
