Do you know if the engine comes with a book?
Maybe it is a trap and something else or some different personality than the default personality is going to be used in the match against zappa.

I think that it is better if the rybka team will not spend time on tuning against this engine and simply ignore the release in their preperation.

No book, no logo, no .ini file, no documentation :-)

I wish there was a Mac version. With wine, one can run 32 bit Zappa but not 64 bit Zappa.

Best thing that could have happened, Tony. I would give it a week or so and see some results. It may very well be that anything jazzed up is for multi-processors. It may not be as strong as Zanzibar, or at least no stronger, on 1 CPU. I would hold off a week or so. He wont run out of copies, trust me.

Older and wiser regards,
