    Don't  try to run the downloaded file. Install it in a GUI like Arena.

    I am having trouble with this download... well not so much the download but the RUN command - when I click this I get the black prompt box with...

    info string 128 MB Hash

    What is going on? Do I need to install something else first?

    This thing is amazingly Beastly super strong and can go really far into depth played at tournament time standards

    You CANNOT run this program directly. This is just the engine. It's like buying a car engine online and trying to drive to work.

    You need a GUI like chessbase (Think car body) to make it work. Goto options, engines and then add the Houdini engine.

      I've tried to download & run this program.

      

    I get a command prompt box which may be the "black screen" referred to by tonylin above.

      

    It reads :

     

    Houdini 1.5 w32

    (c) 2010 Robert Houdart

     

    info string 128 MB Hash

     

    Then hangs. Any idea how to continue?

    ???

  • by JoseO

    The program is a Windows based program. You can run it on a Mac if you have Parallels software or run Windows based software by using Boot Camp.

    the only form that Rybka 2.2 of 32 bits win to houdini it is that houdine abandons the I put in 2 beats but and the first houdini abandonment and in the second houdini I win  
      
    as I make to make better to houdini?
  • by daegen999

    A lot fo people are asking how to run this. You need a program like fritz or arena to run the program threw or its not going to know how to open itself.
