Evidence Rybka Is/Isn't A Derivative Work

Post by Sean Evans »

Hi,

What evidence is there that Rybka is or isn't a derivative work?

Cordially,

I can only add that Larry K. is an international master and has been involved with computer chess for a couple of decades now. Combine that with a really good programmer and it is not to hard to imagine they could make a superior chess program.
Oh, and so far there is not proof that it is not an original piece of work.

Rybka does not need to be discussed here again.
Just search the CCC archives for answers to your questions.

moving on,

There's plenty of evidence that was never discussed publicly. Just so you know...

Perhaps I should post some of it? :lol:

But good to know that he was it. Here is my take.

IMO it's almos certain that the IM at his age now

after so many tries in vain, could ONLY become a GM

by ....




making himself a clone of Rybka which is to say the

least is a super scandal. Larry should now be forced

to explain that.


Or is Levy correct in his assumption that

chessplayers in future would marry their

chess machines? Of course then, the increase in

strength is normal and what we would expect.


And now I must admit something else.

The other day I did it. You wont believe it, but

I, sorry, it's not easy to tell, I became

a cannibal and digested my Rybka, after I had

fallen into a symbiotic relationsship with her.

Well, what can I say, now it's normal for me to play

a decent Blitz against someone like Short and I won

most of the games. Afterwards Nigel asked me, all in shy,

you, you are Bobby, no that story is gone, he said,

methinks, you are the strongest woman I lost to after

Judit. I love your style. Think of that!

From now on my whole life will take another spin

because now I'm a real super GM, probably with the

highest Elo on the planet.

But I must be careful.

Is it now a Permanent super GM Brain or is my destiny

Cold Turkey?

What is with possible kids? Man or Machine?

Male or female?

But I'll do it for science!

Legally? Haha. For me? The best chessplayer

on this Earth? Ok, still inofficial.

And who decides what is a proof? :D

Some people have a different opinion, but please let us not start the discussions again, everything is told...

There are already enough proofs in the archives.
Those who understand those proofs, don't need more.
Those who don't understand those proofs, will never consider any amount of proofs adequate. So why provide more ?

moving on,
