Houdini is stability in solutions, Stockfish has wide time in solutions. It is free engine but if will be payment I will never buy Stockfish, I trust much more Houdini in solving chess problems!

As Komodo won stage 2 perhaps you would be good enough to print out that table for us?

Maybe you don't play chess very much but it is a fact that "The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake." this applies to human and
engine games. Without a mistake there would be no winner. The engine Jonny made a small mistake, that was not the fault of Komodo engine. Live with it!
Had it been Stockfish playing as black you would not have had one word to say about the matter, would you.

Now! updated with lichess.org Analysis  :)

You can alter the table as much as you like but we know Komodo won Stage 2.....by the way still sure Stockfish will win the Final

Been on holidays so missed all the games/fun!

As for your famous forecast,  if I remember correctly that was for a Stockfish win of at least 5 points against Komodo in the Final.

As Stage 3 is not even near half way over yet,  it is no by means 100% certain if Stockfish/Komodo will both be in the final (should be) but by that time
both engines will have changes and updates......so suggest you wait a bit before you start calling yourself a chess Oracle.

Even if you are right, do you get some bonus/ win a lot of money? No!  Still it all gives you enjoyment I suppose, myself rather play the game.

p.s. Just a small point (after looking at the games results) I see that Stockfish won game 73, game 19 was between Fire/Houdini.  If you wish to predict
         it would help to get facts correct....but that has never been a strong point has it.
