Dr. Deeb- would you say your settings for Firebird induce the program to be more positional or tactical
It makes it extremely aggressive yet playing very sound and strong chess
Houdini's & Rybka's butt are already kicked regards,

Well,I can answer your question only partially....I use Firebird_11 w32_in as I found it the fastest running on my Quad system....
The settings should be applied equally in my opinion,the difference will be in the speed of the .exe you use....

I'm curious if it plays better than houdini
Any news on FB 1.4?
At long time controls....that's at least 15 minutes per game plus a reasonable increment,it outperforms both Houdini and Deep Rybka 4....
No news on Fire 1.4 yes....all I know that there will be 2 versions,Fire 1.4 mostly based on these dettings which Norman will tweak to make them even stronger,and Fire 1.4 xTreme which will include a big number of UCI parameters to play with....

Any idea when Firebird 1.4 will appear?
Thanks
Unfortunately Norman is too busy with his personal life....work,family,wife,as he stated in another forum....but let's hope in the upcoming 2 weeks to put our hands on Fire 1.4....that is a pure prediction of course
