I just now found out, to my astonishment, that this is about to be implemented, and at great costs for usage (maybe even 750 euro per year).
It will GREATLY ruin my interest in Rybka 4, and greatly ruin the whole hobby.
I can think of many terrible things this will cause.
I really hope it will be cancelled.

How? Right now if you're very rich you can buy hardware which is >>>> regular player's hardware which gives you an advantage. Is this any different between being rich and having access to an engine which gives you an advantage? I see no difference whatsoever.K I Hyams wrote:Without knowing the details, it is possible to imagine a situation in which it may have an undesirable effect on top-level correspondence chess.playjunior wrote:Please tell us more about the terrible things it can cause.S.Taylor wrote:I just now found out, to my astonishment, that this is about to be implemented, and at great costs for usage (maybe even 750 euro per year).

buys it.
The same amount of time and money could be used in the
improvement of Rybka 5. Rybka 4 is already dead.
If it does work more power to him.
Best to you.
