		onestone on June 2, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Strongest chess player, ever Houdini had a slight edge against Stockfish DD, which is a few months old. The latest Stockfish version (v5, very similar to the version that competed in the TCEC Superfinal) is ~60 Elo stronger, and demolishes Houdini at all time controls. It should soon start hitting the more conservative ratinglists.

"Demolishes"? Hardly. It is so far tied with H4 on IPON. Even if it winds up on top, it will not be by a large margin.
