Can Houdini 3 be beaten?

You are mistaken; my computer systems requirement were approved by a Grandmaster. I played White; Houdini played Black. What I did was take away the computer's counterplay by denying it the b5 or d5 pawn breaks. Since I couldn't see a clear path to victory, I forced a three fold repetition. I assume you are familiar with a draw by three fold repetition aren't you?

One day I hope you understand chess. Right now chess clearly confuses you.

Please don't mention 'understanding chess' when you're trying to learn some Houdini lines by heart and regurgitate them to no end...

Believe it or not, but giving Houdini White after the moves 1.e4 d5 2.Qg4, he could not save the game against me.

Irrefutable proof that Houdini sucks.

Houdini 3 Pro can be beaten in few months if they continue release stronger Stockfish/Komodo 5.1 MP versions...

Once they are capable beating H3 Pro, Houdini 4 will be released.

Long before Houdini 3, I discovered three cooks of the Berliner Gambit; check ECO Edition 5 in 2006. They have the Berliner Gambit, "with compensation". I have also published dozens of articles, had two openings named after me and written two critically acclaimed books---all of this prior to Houdini 3

Which books ?

The Evans Gambit Revolution was published by Ken Smith in Chess Digest. He devoted 1/2 the outside back  cover and the entire inside back cover of his 1995 catalog to promoting my book, more advertising space than that devoted to any other book. GM Andy Soltis in The New York Post said, "An original analysis of an old opening."

GM Soltis also gave my monograph on the Two  Knights' Defense a good review in The New York Post.

I wrote a third book called, Universal Chess: The Search for Truth and Beauty which was given a good review by Rick Kennedy.

The fourth book was Magic called, "Amazing!" by ICM John Elburg. FM Alex Dunne said that at first he was antagonistic towards my book, but then, when I began to talk about universal positions (A universal position is one where a player has no pieces ahead of or in front of his pawns and there are only one open or two half open files) he said, "This made sense."

Is your monograph on the 2 Knights on sale somewhere ? Never heard of it.

He doesn't play OTB chess, for some reason...

It is pre-computer i.e. worthless for serious analysis; I had an agreement with Ken Smith  to publish it but we couldn't agree on a price so it was never sold commercially. I only have one copy; it is better than some theory in 1996, but hopelessly outdated today.

In the words of Bobby Fischer, "Suddenly I got good." Before my dad needed full time caregiving I played in the New York State Open and tied for first in the U1800 section; that was before I started drawing Houdini in about 1/3-1/2 of the games I play with White; I do much worse with Black.

To play in tournaments, I would need someone to engage in caregiving 24/7 while I play in tournaments---an expensive proposition if I don't finish in the money.

This guy is either a troll or has some issues. Check out his games, in almost all of his online games he resigns after 0 or 1 move has been played.

Misguiding thread. Troll.

Little chance of that with those results against Houdini.

For the record, someone able to draw one out of 3 times against Houdini performs at ~2950 level. Not too shaby.

But I won't bother you any longer with this. I'm happy you get good results against the engine, and hope you enjoy your chess analysis work.

Cheers

He plays against the computer without hiding the engine evaluation window (that shows the line that the engine is considering at the moment).

Well, I could probably beat Houdini too.

I'm talking about this Houdini, of course :

I look at the evaluation window to know when to resign; if it matters, I'll cover it up and present games where no knowledge of evaluation occurs.
