There is nothing bad with Rybka, the problem is their fan boys.Albert Silver wrote:
Fascinating, and an incredible blunder by ChessDom. It isn't to besmirch Houdini BTW, as that is not the problem. It is the fact they are promoting a small private computer chess tournament, with no official recognition, on their front page as the main article, after only three rounds, which is the sort of reporting reserved for major international chess tournaments.... It is amazingly bad judgment, and beyond stupid.
Of course, I'm happy for Martin, but this changes nothing.
CCRL its also small, with credibility = 0 (zero)
CCRL has recognition from who?
Few games played in TCEC, but we all see in many testing sites (for example IPON) Houdini rules, so Houdini deserves the press.
Albert, who are you to say what they have to write about? They write and publish what they feel correct. You think you are ChessDom editor?
You make me laugh. I laught every time some as you post such nonsense.
