Fire 1.5 Ultra

King_Safety_Weight 107
Mobility_Weight 105
Pawn_Value 100
Knight_Value 313
Bishop_Value 320
Rook_Value 512
Queen_Value 967
I'm continuing to test other parameters, trying to find the #1 engine.
Hi David,
I've pm'ed you the parameters of
Fire 1.5 xTreme Scylla
It's extremely strong after playing +200 games at long time controls beating Houdini 1.03a and playing at the level of Houdini 1.5 +-5 Elo....
I've changed all the pieces values using the formula applies on a personality of FireBird 1.1 which still tops my rating list even ahead of Houdini 1.5....
I'm running a mamooth tournament engaging 132 engines each playing 4 games against all the other engines running on two overclocked i7 systems 24/7 with a total of 30054 games
See,the thing is,most of the super top engines are tunned against each other,but when they play in a RR tournament facing a big number of various opponents,you'll be surprised how they'll perform....
Head to head matches are simply too wrong to be established as a standard utility to measure a chess engine's strength....sure they shed some light,but the truth is left far far behind....
