I wonder Ted why Chessbase is jumping from author to author to release it's flagship chess program,Fritz that is,and not sticking to a certain programmer in the long term like it used to be many many moons agoAdminX wrote:I agree Doc, and I see about 40 Elo as well.Dr.Wael Deeb wrote:It's a polished Rybka 4.1 with a small improvement,around 40 Elo and a major business move from Vasik which I grade with !!AdminX wrote:Looks like the only thing new is the name, and maybe some improvements added over Rybka 4.1.

He is moving on by helping Chessbase sell a clone of his own engine?MikeB wrote:That would be foolish to write from scratch. Rybka has a very good SMP implementation. Vas is obviously a very talented programmer and it is good to see him move on and put Rybka behind him. Wish him all the best.John Conway wrote:

Not get hung on semantics , but a clone would be a exact copy of his own engine - we already know it's not. A better choice might be a derivative of his own engine - which happens all the time - so what's your point?John Conway wrote:He is moving on by helping Chessbase sell a clone of his own engine?MikeB wrote:That would be foolish to write from scratch.
