OpenChess

Hello everyone,
New here and I really like this forum for its openness in discussing any chess engine.

Would like to ask as to why I don't see any discussion or testing of the engine Igoritt0.086v9 (64). Is it known to be inferior? It seems to me (on my humble testing) to be one of the strongest (free) engines out there - prob. my favorite. Could some of you expert testers run your tests or competitions with it? What about this engine?
Thanks.

yeah that was sometime ago !!!!now ivanhoe and fire are one of the best free engine

A snapshot from my private rating list running on an overclocked Q9650 at long time controls:

FireBird 1.1 WD+ x64 MP 4CPU q8 3372 356 Games
Rybka 3.0 Human x64 MP 4CPU q8 3356 356 Games
Rybka 3.0 Dynamic x64 MP 4CPU q8 3344 356 Games
IvanHoe-B v63Mod3s x64 MP 4CPU q8 3344 356 Games
Rybka 3.0 Standard x64 MP 4CPU q8 3332 356 Games
Igorrit 0.086 v9 x64 MP 4CPU q8 3324 356 Games
RobboLite 0.085 g3 x64 q8 3320 356 Games
FireBird 1.2 x64 MP 4CPU q8 3316 356 Games
Rybka 2.3.2a x64 MP 4CPU q8 3244 356 Games
Stockfish 1.6s x64 MP 4CPU 3115 412 Games


Some notes:
1.Igorrit after playing 356 games against various opponents is bearly playing at the level of the single core RobboLite 0.085 g3
2.Notice the gap between the FireBird 1.2 and my personality of FireBird 1.1 and this is again after playing more than 300 games....
3.Of course the situation will most probably change dramatically after including Deep Rybka 4,Houdini 1.03 and Stockfish 1.8 in the rating list plus a couple of new personalities of FireBird 1.1....
Cheers,

Dr D.
would you be so kind to give us the list of your settings for Fire 1.1.
It looks that you had a very good results with that version and your settings.
