I think by now it is a well known fact that Houdini is the current number one chess engine in the world.
(It just destroys all the other chess engines).
What I would like to know is what chess engine is number two?
I have seen many tests of other users, who compared the top ten or so chess engines against each other...
The problem I have is that nearly all of them ran their tests for not nearly enough amount of games.
However, it looks to me that Critter might be number two?? My own tests thus far also indicate Critter
as a possible number two, but have to wait more days, before I have better stats behind me.
What do you think?
I am currently testing Stockfish, Critter, Ivanhoe, Komodo and Rybka 4 against each other, in a marathon
amount of games. (All of them the latest 32 bit versions). Will take many days to complete.
Will keep you updated.
