How about just using a strong dual core mashine! this would even the odds for the other engines and make a good contest. I have played several matches with Rybka and other engines and have only found it's endgames to be weak. If this weakness is taken away, then this is very bad for other engines
BTW Even with just dual core I would still bet on Rybka!

Re: Proposal for Rybka team playing in Leiden
We have the same hardware as Rybka and will beat it with that - there is no point having a handicap system. I would agree with your suggestion if Rybka had superior hardware to the other strong engines but it does not.eriq wrote:How about just using a strong dual core mashine! this would even the odds for the other engines and make a good contest.

Rybka was saved a pooping as it could only manage a draw v Hiarcs. Standings are Zap 3/3 HIARCS 2.5/3 and Rybka 2/3.Harvey Williamson wrote:Andre's baby(Jeroen) has been genetically engineered to poop on any doubters - watch out RayAndré van Ark wrote:Yes, they have!eriq wrote:The hiarcs team must have a secret weapon!?

Rybka will recover and win. Even if it doesn't the tournament result means very little with so few games, we all know Rybka is the strongest engine in the tournamentHarvey Williamson wrote:

Just a wild guess that you haven't gained 100 ELO since Hiarcs 11.1Harvey Williamson wrote:

Or is it 150 ELO since the Rybka that is palying has possibly gained 50...
Zap has a bit of a hardware advantage, all in all it is going to be fascinating
Regardless, these tournaments are great fun - great for the audience to follow, I've been refreshing my browser dozens of times... And great fr the operators and authors to meet and talk
