If the author had managed to release this version a bit earlier, it could've competed in the TCEC tournament that is just concluding. Wonder if Houdini 4 would've done significantly better than 3 which came third behind Stockfish and Komodo?
Houdini 4 released!
Sort:
Have you won any game against its predecessors?For you the worst engine is enough.
I find that Houdini 3 plays sharper and more tactical middle games than Houdini 2, but Houdini 2 has a better endgame play. How is Houdini 4's playing style compared to its predecessors?

"The new Houdini 4 contains many evaluation and search improvements in all phases of the game and is about 50 Elo stronger than its predecessor. The improved strength means that Houdini 4 nearly doubles the chess performance of your PC for game analysis and match play."
What now?
