Thanks robbolito for the tests; you have always been kind to providing games whenever requested so personally, I dont need to see them -- just want to make some observations.
Elo difference amongst the different systems between Rybka 4.1 and Houdini 2.0:
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T: 60
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 Q- 750: 88
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad Q9550: 133
It is normal for one program to do better on certain architectures, but difference for the Q9550 is a bit high even given error margin, and considering it is being speculated the true Elo difference is ~64.
For 736 games, error bar is +/- 18, so 100 difference is normal.
Edit:
Looking at
http://www.clemens-keck.de/base.htm, Houdini 2.0 is ranked 3023 (+/- 11), and Rybka 4.1, 2949 (+/- 9). If we factor in the errors, including the one for 736 games, you get 130 Elo difference. Now, I guess it doesn't look so abnormal after-all.

Hi King,
thanks for your review of the scores.You made some sense out of it.
All the games played are posted with the scores on the Immortal chess for those who want to review them or use them for some other purposes.
It is interesting how the scores can vary from one computer to another.Rybka has usually done better on the faster computers.Q 9550 I use is my oldest MP computer so I don't know if that has to do something the way engines are playing .
Has been some time since I was in touch with you.Hope that things are OK and that you are doing fine.
Regards,
robbolito.
