What? No talk of Houdini 1.5 on the Rybka forum ?

Maybe we should let them know their hero has fallen ? As how will the troops carry on once they know their general is dead!

it's still 'unmentionable' (actually more than that) -- i proved this to myself very quickly just by mentioning that such an engine existed (without naming it). the post was gone in minutes. i have 'publically' asked them to change this policy but gotten no reply from any moderators.

Just to show you what kind of people are Vasik and his followers....
Anyway,Rybka is a history now,it took about 5 years of dominancy but finally went down in flames....

Where exactly is that subforum? I have looked everywhere on the Bugka forum, there is no such thing... Is this just another BS among others Bugka supporters are trying to convince people of ?

I do not have access there so two questions:

1. is there a possibility for me to read the original and
2. What is the general opinion about the 100 Elo increase form R3 to H1.5?

Thanks
