I doubt it because the Ivanhoe games won't be submitted for rating purposes.
There is such a big gap from the top five engines in the CCRL rating list back to the sixth, I thought I'd include Ivanhoe to keep things close.

Ok.. but still, this is a HUGE step forward for him.

Komodo 4; bug fixed version or first version?

Bugfixed. Don't forget that the 32-bit version is a lot weaker than the 64-bit version.

I would expect Houdini and Rybka to improve, but Critter is formidable now.

Please note that it is Ivanhoe 9.46h that I'm running, not Ivanhoe 9.456b.
I created the engine name incorrectly.

Too close to call. Could change over the last 20 rounds.

I´m not a Houdini lover but, Do you have properly registered Houdini? If not, It isn´t at full power. It's a little weird.

Yes, my Houdini is a registered version.
Remember that anything can happen in a short tournament with engines that are very close in strength.
