Thanks Vladimir. I don't know if it makes much difference, but i used the Fire 2.2 xTreme x64 compiled by Peterpan version in my tests, and i tested against a variety of engines.
By the way, did you have any time losses at 3 minutes sudden death time control? I had none at 2+2.
A question to David & Vladimir.
What system you are using..because i see a very high Split Depth in the settings:
AN_Split_Depth 14
CN_Split_Depth 16
PV_Split_Depth 12
Fire 2.2 has as min. value Split depth 12..where Fire 1.6 has default 10 and can put on min. 1 max. 24
I have a core i7 970 @4.155Ghz 6cores (HT OFF) and have Fire 1.6 with SD=10 better then all other Fire engines.So SD=10 do it better then SD=12 on my system.
I'am now testing SD=9 to see if Fire 1.6 doing better then SD=10 on my laptop.I would i can test Fire 2.2 with lower Split Depth!
So,how you come to these high Split Depth values and have you tried with lower values,for sure when you have a slower system!
Ipman.
PS. I will try these Blaze settings..Thanks!

once again, the same previous result. Houdini 1.5a is still much stronger!
ok.. i get hope for fire then it just crushes me.. i love to have an engine to beat houdini but all this false hope with fire 2.0,2.2 cremator,blaze,banzai etc.. is just beating around the bush...
PLEASE there is plenty of options and settings u can make.. how about somebody run a test like mindbreaker did for rybka with the diferent settings.. mindbreaker ran over 85+ settings and finally found a setting that proved to be very very strong ... makking rybka 4.0 exp.42 #2 strongest engine.. with this setting rybka gained well over +50ELO over default settings. I know fire has the potential.. and i believe it can overpower HOudini but if a 100 game test shows fire getting his butt handed to him then no need in cotinuing that setup.. move onto a new setting.. maybe a few minor adjustments..
but after a 100 game battle houdini 1.5a vs. fire 2.2 blaze without triple/total/tablebases(makes little difference since houdini had its GTB's disabled as well..) just engine vs. engine no tb's help. my results after 300 games was this @ 5/0 timer
went thru games and took out time losses, if fire was winning with a big advanatge over houdini and still lost on time i counted it a win for fire 2.2 Blaze.. vice versa goes for houdini if it lost on time but had a very big advantage it got the win..
results

Hi No FEAR..it looks like we have same system!
I have now more then 17.000 5min.games..all these settings is nice.but the most i get out is when playing with Split Depth..these other settings don't do much in ELO gain.
Like you say,Mindbreaker did a great work,you need alot off testings to find better settings.
I have done this with Houdini 1.5a ..i don't know in your test what Split Depth you have used.
But i can tell you SD=12 is the best on our system!
Now for Fire..i have already told in my message before the min.Split depth 12 in fire 2.2 is too high,or you need a much faster system then ours..like a SR-2 system.
With Fire 1.6 you can go lower with these Split Depth's..and at the moment SD=9 is doing better then default SD=10 from Fire 1.6 (this is on the laptop)
On my big system is Fire 2.2 Blaze busy..but i would like to see a compile where i can reduce these split depth's under 12..like Fire 1.6 from 1 to 24.
So Fire 2.2 with default SD=12 will give you a worse result on a slower system.
Critters Split Depth has around half value from Houdini..so when default houdini SD=10 then is Critter SD=5 ..default is has SD=6
Testing now busy with Criter SD=5 against Fire 2.2 with blaze settings..already 5 draws.
I will continue with testings against different engines,but when i see it comes below Fire 1.6 with SD=10 i stop it after a few hunderd games.
So i would like to see a Fire 2.2 compile with Split Depth min.1 to max. 24

Changing strength by tweaking the setting is...'artifical'.

fire 2.2 will beat houdini 1.5a when the settings are found.. given the right settings i think fire 2.2 can overtake houdini. houdini = no options for diff settings. as fire has plenty of playing styles and ways of changing its playing strength/speed/depth. i have watched and tried all these settings and so far every newer setting gets closer to beating houdini straight up. other night i use houdini cremator in Playchess for over 14 hours and maintained a 2700 Elo. out of 74 games i lost only 9. drawed alot, won a few, but hey, fire stood up to houdini and beat its pants off and made houdini do a dissapear act and GIVEUP!!!

Thanks. I missed the Extend_In_Check 1 parameter.
Also, personally i never use any endgame bases for any engines.
Thanks for Cremator 3. Based on the performances of your previous settings, i'm expecting great results from these new settings. It's time for the great Houdini to be dethroned!

Thanks. It is still an anti-Houdini personality and the performance is not so great against Critter, Rybka and Stockfish (while Inferno beats them quite easily). Bases: I think that Fire gets a lot of power from using them. But then, my primary interest is correspondence chess where they are an absolute necessity for analyzing endgames but I understand that outside corr chess they may not be so important.
