'''Fire''', (Firebird, Fire xTreme)<br/>
an [[UCI]] compliant chess engine by [[Norman Schmidt]] <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50463&start=5 Re: Fire 3.0 released] by [[Norman Schmidt]], [[CCC]], December 13, 2013</ref>, until version 3.0 derived from [[IvanHoe]] and the [[Ippolit]] series of programs with some help of [[Milos Stanisavljevic]].

Fire features [[Magic Bitboards|magic bitboards]], it can be configured with more than 70 UCI options, and applies a [[Parallel Search|SMP parallel search]].
=Fire 4=
Fire '''4''', released in December 2014, was a compete re-write and does not use any source code from or related to [[Ippolit]]. It supports [[Syzygy Bases]], and includes a revamped memory management which uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP OpenMP] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_preprocessor#Compiler-specific_preprocessor_features #pragmas] to utilize [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage thread local storage] <ref>[https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/use-thread-local-storage-to-reduce-synchronization Use Thread-local Storage to Reduce Synchronization | Intel® Developer Zone], November 2, 2011</ref> and minimize the amount of 'shared' resources among [[Thread|threads]] for its [[Parallel Search|SMP implementation]]. [[Engine Testing|Testing]] was done via massive parallel, automated 24/7 ultra-fast chess engine matches using [[Cutechess-cli]] and [[LittleBlitzer]]. Code changes were tested to a very high level of confidence using [[Match Statistics#Likelihood of superiority|LOS]] and [[Match Statistics#SPRT|SPRT]] (min. 40,000 games) against a pool of top engines. Development and testing included approx. 200,000 - 240,000 ultra-fast games per day <ref>Information provided by [[Norman Schmidt]], July 2015</ref>.
=Fire 5, Fire 6.1=
Fire '''5''', released in November 2016, improved with new [[Evaluation|evaluation]] terms, and [[SPSA]] tuned evaluation and [[Search|search]] parameters, and supports [[Chess960]]. Fire '''6.1''', released in September 2017, added approximately 30-40 Elo in [[Playing Strength|playing strength]] <ref>[http://www.chessdom.com/fire-the-chess-engine-releases-a-new-version/ Fire – the chess engine releases a new version], [[Chessdom]], October 02, 2017</ref>.
