This guy is like the day[9] of chess.

[JOTTABYTE]

High level chess is so strange.

[kimono38]

@Savarkar19 Agree. Just cut straight to the game man

[ReachingHigher001]

@BLACKDEATHHAND: Seems like that day has already passed. :)

[BLACKDEATHHAND]

I fear the day when machine beats man...

[Savarkar19]

the initial 100 seconds of commentary wasnt needed atall....!! u jsut cud have gone on with the game after a brief couple of lines introduction.....

[gustavonarez]

I accept Houdini as my ruler and overlord.

[macnolds]

tryfon, tryfon. calm down. there's nothing "romantic" about this at all. the spectacular sacrifices and unselfish positional play of houdini is justified by deep, precise calculation. it's all about the ply my man. as andrew soltis once corrected, "chess is 99% calculation." now, with that being said, i believe any top gm could have found those clever rook maneuvers near the end of the game. it's really the second pawn sacrifice that stands out.

[Mattslayerable]

wow houdini's idea of sacrificing pawns to maximise piece activity and completely bind up rybka is proven effective! maybe a new side of chess? the game is infinitely complicated it looks.

[RuudJH]

Untill which move was it bookmoves? I have my doubts about 2.c3 allready. Most good engine books play standard sicilians, certainly not this. Millions of GM games don't lie.

Yay, Rybka and especially Houdini ARE a great (r)evolution in chess engines. I could follow the game until before ...Na4, where black seems to have great positional compensation, but it tends to be pretty hard for us humans to improve the position (that`s why most of us refrain to play such positions... we blunder away our awesome position, and in the end the material counts... ;) ) , but Houdini came up with the amazing sequence ...Na4! , ...a5!!!, and finally the logical ...b5! (lever b5-b4)
