I'm probably not the best placed person to talk about the future of Rybka. If Rybka 4.1 manages to reach or surpass the level of Houdini 1.5, all the better for its users and for the computer chess community.S.Taylor wrote:Do you think that Rybka will make a stronger upgrade before then, that will be clearly above Houdini 1.05, and that Houdini 2.0, some time later, will just about get back its superiority again?

Or, might you manage to not let Rybka get too high for too long?
Your estimation? other opinions?

The only certain thing is that it's not very easy to win 50 Elo points at the top level.
