> Comparing Wine with Windows (Roger Jargoyhen)
Thank you for your reply. I precise my query:
Houdini 1.5 is the new chess engine in town as you probably know. It is
delivered in 32 and 64 bits Windows versions and can use one or several
processors.
It works amazingly well on Linux 32 bits using Wine 1.2 (standard stable
version of Wine)
On 64 bits, on Windows it goes indeed 30% faster. Wine can run 64 bits
software according some special conditions. However, my computer is only 32
bits, so I cannot test any 64 bits version.
My purpose is limited:* I would like to compare Houdini 1.5 (using Linux 32
and Wine) to Houdini 1.5 (using Windows 32)*
I agree that a real 1000 games match is the best way to know which is the
real winner. However, *if I cannot do it for practical reasons*, I thought I
could try to run an indicative test like this one, with the Nunn's suite.

I just do not know how to organise this kind of test. I have a dual boot and
I just thought Scid could be used for this purpose. I will now look for
Arena as you suggested.
Cheers
