A Look at Rybka 4 - Houdini 1.5a, Game 1
Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 1:49PM
A while ago I reported that the free program Houdini 1.5a defeated the king of the commercial programs, Rybka 4, by a 23.5-16.5 score in a recent match. Many people, both on my blog and elsewhere, were especially impressed by Houdini's play in the first game of that match, and I can't blame them! Houdini sacrificed three pawns for play, and the end result was an overwhelming initiative. You can have a look at the game, with my comments, here.
