Configuring Houdini on ChessDB

Sort:
TheHangingPawn

Hello,

    Has anyone tried to configure Houdini on ChessDB? I tried doing it by using the Analysis Engine option on ChessDB and adding Houdini as a new engine with the exe in the Engines directory of ChessDB. Somehow, the analysis that Houdini spits out is completely wrong! Toga gives a better analysis. 

Any help regarding this issue is appreciated.

Thanks,

THP

If I remember correctly, I also had a problem with certain engines in ChessDB.  That's when I found out about Scid vs PC.

A little bit about the relationship between the three of them - Scid and ChessDB and Scid vs PC - can be found here, at the bottom of the page:

I suppose the three of them can be considered brothers.  (Or at least cousins.)

Once I started uisng Scid vs PC, I liked it and since then I've never gone back to Scid or ChessDB.  The author of Scid vs PC is still supporting the program.  I know that isn't the case with Scid, and I'm not sure if that's the case with ChessDB.

So no, I can't help with your specific question, but your comment indicates there may be some kind of a bug that shows up under certain conditions in ChessDB.

Thanks a lot! That fixed it - Scid Vs Pc is wonderful.
