Tall Poppy Syndrome - is a pejorative term used in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada to describe a societal phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are criticised or resented because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers. :lol:

Last 4 years of this syndrome with rybka domination, some are having major symptons ;) All we need is some competition for number 1 engine, people are bored. If the other engines were within striking distance this wouldn't be an issue :)

Peace!

The only serious bug I've encountered is related to repetition detection (http://www.rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybka ... ?tid=10772) and that will be fixed in the next release, I would guess.
With Gian-Carlo you are another with merits who thankfully raised his voice in all the fog here. Respect! -Rolf

Rolf i have a solution after Rybka 4 Vas takes a sabbatical until 21-12-2012 While the other engines catch up. As the world crumbles Vas pulls out a engine 200 elo stronger to save us all ;) We all pay by gold by that time :lol:

Who is Frayer?
was he part of the Rybka team and now disillusioned or just an unhappy customer?

this message of his seems to be posted on all of the forums so i am just asking out of curiosity

Hello Dom,

indeed, this could be solved the problem.
On the horizont different engines are ready for take off. A question of time only.

Yesterday I saw a website with thousands of Rybka-Rybka games (different opening books only). I am thinking OK Frank, much computer chess people will see a new try with such a kind of testing.

After an "3-Years-Break" I wonder what the community do.

Unfortunately, the reality will be ... I am three years older and with more years more topics I can't understand.

The Robbo / Rybka topic is perhaps the doctoral theses by Rolf. Never saw a person which such an energy to clone topics. Rolf to do mischief, seems that this topic will give him the element of life. Outright OK for me, I have full understanding for everyone.

And for sure:
One person seems to be to 100% lucky :-)
Christmas time ...

Best
Frank

BTW:
Noboday else ... suddenly Fabian turn up.
This should be a horror vision for the Rybka-Rybka opening book freaks. All games should be replayed and all the opening books should be available in new versions.
