This game was played without sight of the evaluation or what Houdini was thinking.
I lost with a Sicilian and a Caro-Kann, but then Houdini played an inferior variation of the main line of the Two Knights' Defense (It was book for the computer); as is typical, I had an edge but couldn't convert and had to settle for a draw by repetition:
Maybe IM Phren could win this, but I can't win won games. :)

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.

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