T3 settings and Z settings seems (as in Sedat Rating List) a little bit better than original. A small plus to Z here but need more games to confirm because so close !

If you want to make the claims above, you need to play more games. For the moment everything is buried under the tower of statistical uncertainty.
For T3 and Z settings there is only one valid conclusion after 1000 games: they are not significantly different from the default settings.

On the Rybka Forum I published the results obtained with "z", "s" and your "T4" settings in 16´000 game matches against the default Houdini 2.0c.
Here are the results against the standard Houdini 2.0c.
- "s" scored 7797-8203 (38% draws), -8 Elo (+/- 4 Elo)
- "z" scored 7922-8078 (39% draws), -4 Elo (+/- 4 Elo)
- "T4" scored 7914-8086 (40% draws), -4 Elo (+/- 4 Elo)
Again, the only conclusion can be that these settings change very little to the objective strength of the engine.


No

The only conclusion is that they change very little in the time control that you tested.

I read that with longer time control things are different

+172,=240,-113 seems convincing but we are going to have 1000 games at 5+3 blitz time control.
