Stockfish vs Houdini etc

edit

I realize that computers can improve and also have fluctuations in their chess ratings, like humans do, but why is Stockfish in the mid 3200s rating and houdini is at 3400, since stockfish is so dominant? That's a huge difference in rating points.144.35.114.45 (talk) 01:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your numbers are wrong.
  • Stockfish 9 64-bit 4CPU is rated 3438.[1]
  • SugaR XPrO 1.5.3 64-bit 4CPU (a modified stockfish) is rated 3440[2]
  • Houdini 6 64-bit 4CPU is rated 3398.[3]
