Houdini

Why waste loads of money on Rybka and Fritz when there are equally good or better engines and available free of charge. Houdini 1.5 ruled the just completed Thoresen Chess Engines Competition (TCEC) and took the first place ahead of Rybka 4 and another free engine, Stockfish 2.0.1.

1. Houdini 1.5 - 24.0
2. Rybka 4.0 - 23.0
3. Stockfish 2.0.1 - 20.0
4. Ivanhoe B47cB - 17.0
5. Critter 0.9 - 17.0
6. Shredder 12.0 - 12.0
7. Naum 4.2 - 12.0
8. Hiarcs 13.2 - 11.0
