I have played several matches with Rybka and other engines and have only found it's endgames to be weak. If this weakness is taken away, then this is very bad for other engines :cry:


BTW Even with just dual core I would still bet on Rybka!
If you have access to the rybka forum you can follow the developments. They are using a strong server in a remote connection but the connection has let them down.

I wonder if you caused some internet problem to the rybka team to force them to accept your proposal :)

Only a 16 core machine?

Obviously they are not taking this tournament seriously or they would be trying to get something with a little umpfff :)
