On the other side Houdini behaves in anoptimum fashion between these two extremes and that is why it is the strongest engine.Ī German computer scientist, chess programmer, and author of the chess engines List and Loop, which is also the chess engine of Wii Chess. But Rybka andCritter do not miss the intermezzos but since they cannot descend to depths like Stockfish they cannot come up with the conclusion to their anlyses. The reflection of this choice on the chess board is as follows: Stokfish becomes very strong in finding powerful moves in the middle game which lead to a win but the anlyses may miss intermezzos. The best engines which use this method are Critter and Rybka and maybe also Houdini but Stockfish uses (singular extention)as I mentioned above which is basicly a method where you increase the depth by one if there is a viable only move or a singular move.The other 3 engines find this method expensive in terms of using computing and computer resources. In simple terms this means the betterment of move eliminaton method. One of the best waysto increase the the playing power of a chess engine is to enhance the algorithm called Alpha-Beta Pruning.
