new Fire 131 settings vs Firebird 11 DrDeeb
Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:07 pm
i decided to make some settings for fire 131 to try to defeat drdeeb's firebird 11 since his seems to be stronger. the main issue i see with fire 131 is that it undervalues the rook. in some games it seems to make exchange sac's thinking it's good and then has to fight for a draw, so i tried these settings and they seem pretty good. i'll call them AD for anti-deeb. haha just joking around dr.
fire 131 AD settings:
contempt 75
pawn 115
rook 700 (trying to compensate for undervaluing)
queen 1000
bishop pair 75
everything else default.
i have amd athlon ii x2 dual 2.8ghz 64bit. each engine plays both white and black of each opening. 30 mins each for whole game, ponder off, no tablebases, 128 mb hash.
fire 131 AD +3=15-2 10.5/20 52.5%
firebird 11 drdeeb +2=15-3 9.5/20 47.5%
NID 4. e3.................... +0=2-0
Sicilian Richter-Rauser.... +1=1-0 131 won with black
Sicilian 5. Nb5.............. +0=2-0
Sicilian 6. Bc4.............. +0=2-0
French Winauer Adv....... +1=0-1 both won with white
Ruy Lopez Chigorin........ +0=2-0
Ruy Lopez Worrall......... +0=2-0
QGD Exch................... +0=1-1 131 lost with black
QID 4. g3.................... +1=1-0 131 won with white
KID 5. Nf3................... +0=2-0
obviously need to play a lot more games and lines and also other engines, but it looks pretty good in a few games played against houdini too.
