Kaufman on Rybka and Fischer

[Sean Evans]

“Since I am mainly responsible for the evaluation function in Rybka, and since Fischer was the No. 1 influence on my own chess career, a lot of Rybka’s evaluation can be said to be second-hand knowledge from Fischer”

(Larry Kaufman, Chess, April 2008).

If larry liked Fischer it is very natural that Fischer stuff is in the program.
I would not call this marketing BS.

Do you actually KNOW Larry? I've known him for years. There's a famous quote that applies to you here...

"it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

"it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Have you ever tried your own prescription for what ails you?

What did I say that offended you? I've known Larry for at least a couple of decades, and have ALWAYS found him to be a "straight-shooter" when he makes comments.
