"NH: What chess engines in public domain when you got started had the biggest influence on the earliest versions of Rybka?
VR: Well, actually, I started in kind of a strange way. I printed out just about every single paper there was to print out about computer chess—all of these academic papers.
"



Sorry, but me as a programmer, reading that a programmer learned how to develop a chess engine reading papers really made me laugh, and laugh out loud.

Even the dumbest doesn't drink that silliness !

I can understand his reasons, but if I were in him I would eventually asked the interviewer to put that question in the "forbidden questions list"....a list that, reading the whole interview, it seems to me it was far from empty anyway

Anyhow happy new year to everybody and to Rybka's author too !

I now watched most of the middle one.
I feel that he turns out to appear to me more or less just like I imagined.
I do not feel encouraged into believing I will have what will make me happy.
In fact, he said very clearly that the online version will now be the big thing, and NOT the home software for Rybka 4 etc.
Also, the impression he used to give over was being a person of generosity, but now he seems to be getting honest about it, that he is playing the money game, and would like to earn money for every little thing he does, and to push the amount of money to the very top of what he might be able to get out of it.
And it comes out to big money!

Well,his latest shamful actions match 100% with this statement....

I think SO. I had hoped my feelings were unfounded, but instead, they seem more confirmed.

It is also now clear from what he says, that indeed he WAS busy with other interests, and was NOT working on Rybka 4, during the whole year.

Sometimes, there are people who keep their word for a few years, in order to gain reputation, and then when it is worthwhile, they throw it all to the ground and do the opposite. I've seen this pattern.

But I don't know who can say what he is now doing is shameful. He is not a saint, but he now has great power to earn big money. If he didn't use it, he would be throwing away millions, and maybe very many millions! Who would do a thing like that?

The only way he would change would be if he will not succeed with the rental Rybka. But he probably will. He might even become a billionaire from it.

Well, I learned that way back in 1983. It amazes me how many can only learn by reading others code.

Maybe almosr every person who has internet connection will try it out atleast one time, and that means half a euro (because the cheapest of the 4 price categories is half aeuro for an hour). And some might get addicted to it and spend countless hours. A years membership might be 750 euro, so it can add up with and without that.

Vas said this will be the most economic level, but there are 3 levels above that, and the highest level might be 80-100 euros per hour. (per year unlimited? On the scale of half a euro per hour or 750 a year, which is like 1500 hours a year paid up front. So if it is 100 euro x 1500 hours up front, that would be 150,000 euro. for a year unlimited?

And most people in the world who have internet connection might range from paying half a euro ever, till many thousands?

OK after one year, there might be competition, but for a long period, it will be only Rybka.

Aren't there billions of people w ith internet?
