Chess Titans defeated the hard version? I highly doubt.

Open houdini and enter the moves the hard computer makes and enter houdinis moves at the hard computer screen.

The chess.com computer played a stupid opening.

I just decided to act like it was a real chess game, so no take backs.  Also, it's not on Chess Titans.  And yes you just play the hard mode on chess.com, but enter every move straight from houdini and enter in the chess.com computer's moves into the GUI that your engine is running on.

This was a 24 hour time control game, however the engines did not use all of their time.  Stockfish had 406 minutes and 43 seconds left at the end of the game, and Houdini had 672 minutes and 14 seconds left.

On the Crafty GUI you cannot set a Hash table size or set the number of CPU's for an engine to use.  But I figured a 24 hour game would still give me some really good chess.

If it was 24 hrs then they both shouldve used more time.

This game was played by Stockfish 5 using the infinite analysis feature in Fritz 14.  I moved the pieces once it reached a depth of 35 or higher, although sometimes I would enter in multiple moves at a time if it reached a higher depth.  I don't think this was the right decision beacause Stockfish seems to give slightly worse moves for black if it is currently analyzing the best move for white. I am wondering how I should try and get the highest level of play from engines, so I will try out the NSK+V opening book and I am going to set the Hash table size to 3022 MB for the next game, unless I find out that 2048 MB is better in Fritz.

I'm not sure that Komodo 9.2 played move 3, that was actually probably me, I shouldn't have posted this game.

For Stockfish, I manually input the top move from the dartvader opening book, so the first 7 moves are book moves.  Hope you enjoy!

The first 5 moves are from the FiNaL BoOk.  Stockfish had a pretty long unneccessary mate that it wanted to play after 78. Kh2; 78. g4 79.Kg3 Qc1 80. Kh4 g3+ 81. Kxg3 Qd2 82. Kh3 Rg4 83. Kxg4 Qd5 84. Kf4 Kf2 85. Kg4 Qe5 86. Kh4 Kf3 87. Kh3 Qg3#.  Stockfish just stopped analyzing the position and put up scores for every move it could make.  The score would be -2 or -1 or something, I don't know if this is a problem with my Endgame tablebases.

No opening book used.  Move 1 I had started on a different game for Stockfish 6, and for some reason I had to start over on this file, so 1. d4 was Stockfish 6's move at a depth of 40.  It took a long time to get to that depth and I didn't want to do that again.
And I know this is not a very exciting game, I just thought I'd share it.

This chess font looks very similar to the Merida font I use in Arasan.  And the board design I use is a very nice hashmark design that looks like a chess diagram on newspaper.  (Under 'Options' > 'Board Colors', check the box labeled "Black & white display".)

Arasan used the default opening book in the Arasan program.  The game was played between Komodo 9.42 64-bit and Arasan 18.3 64-bit

I loved watching these game. Enjoyed them more and more for every new one i looked at.

Alright cool! As long as someone else wants to see them, I'll keep posting more games.

I have the dartvader opening book loaded in Fritz right now, but I do not have the 'OwnBook' or 'Best Book Line' options checked.  I used 'Infinite Analysis' to calculate every move in the game.  I tried to have each engine calculate up to a depth of 35, but Komodo was taking too long for me on some moves.  Komodo 9.42 took much longer than Stockfish on most moves, so this is not an entirely fair game, but I like to see a win, so it doesn't matter that much to me.  The version of Stockfish playing in this game is a development version, and it may have some problems that Stockfish 7 doesn't have.  All engine settings are on the default settings except for the number of threads, which I set to two, and the Hashtable size is set to 800 Megabytes for both engines.

Komodo 9.42 (Contempt:29) vs Arasan 19.0.1

I finally realized it must be awful to go through these games knowing which engine is going to win as soon as you see the title.

I started this game quite a while ago, maybe even before summer, so this took a while.  I did not use an opening book for Komodo.  The hash table size on Arasan is set to 800 MB.   Komodo's hash table size was set to 2048 MB.  Here's the game:
