Hi !

I don't know if there is already a topic about that but, I'm interested to know something.

Since 1 month, I run Houdini 3.0 Pro x64 on Arena, and go on chess websites to play against strong player.

Each time I match against an other programs (chess engine), I lose each game. I know I have not a strong computer (intel core i5), but srsly I lose each game with Houdini 3

Last night, I asked my opponents, and he said me that he run 3 engines (Hiarcs 14) on Arena and beat everyone.


I don't know if it is possible, but I would like to know it. Is it realy possible to run 3 (or more) engines on Arena to beat his opponents ?

Thanks for the answer.


(Sorry for all my grammar mistakes, english isn't my native language)

Easy, go to Engines >>> Manage... and choose 3 engines to run at same time like I have Houdini + Komodo + Stockfish...

Thank you for the anwser, but I think I made some mistake when I tried to explain my question.

When I load 3 engines, I would like these engines run together at the same time and evaluate a better option, better than if I run 1 engine.

Is it possible ? Or my opponent's was a liar ?

i dont think you can run 3 engines at same time during play.

NO.... It is just not possible... The only way is to have the same engine running in parallel with copies of itself... This is already done by many engines in multi-cpu/multi-core computers.

Even it this was possible, it will be useless.. the CPU's have a limited amount of computer power, if you have many different engines thinking about the same position, the computer's power will be split among all this three engine. Then you have to deal with synchronizing what each engine is doing/thinking.

P.S. The only other way is to have something like SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) , where millions of computers are sharing tasks and results. But this is not going to be possible with a $300.00 computer.
