at nTCEC
professional computers experts
and chess analysts
along with GMs are talking about SF
SF must win this to go thru the next stage
if SF loses
SF's chance to be qualified is very slim
but the engine's PV and eval is becoming
in favor of SF
SF is on the brink of elimination and disqualification
and this stage is drawing to a close
ppl may say this match is the most important match for SF!
***

SF Vs. houdini
I ran a simulated engine match
in this position
from move number 34
to predict which will win
so from the move number 34
SF Vs. H
SF is replaced with newer version
and H dev version is stronger than H3
but the engines I used are comparable to the engines
used in the tourney kind of
***
this is the FEN I used
2q2bk1/5pPp/3p4/3PpbP1/3r4/2NP4/1P1Q3P/1KBR4 b - - 0 35
from this position I ran the SF vs H simulation
to find out which will win
the TC is long TC
a long TC is used
for this simulation
this is the pgn

SF wins in the simulation***
it is move # 36
-3.7
-2.5
both evals are in favor of SFSF wins and that means something of importance
Houdini 9601 is amazing
Houdini 9601 version is undefeated and invincible
and SF is gonna be the first engine to win over houdini 9601
along with SF will move on to the next stage in nTCEC
