Rybka and RAM

Post by Ovyron »

Rybka 3 has a bug that makes her use 72MB more RAM than specified in 1CPU and much more with more cores and even more with Tablebase cache.

I want to know what is the stand of the rating groups about this since it would be unfair to let Rybka use much more RAM than their opponents.

It seems that are bugs enough to do that Vas work right now in Rybka 3.1 :roll: I have the feeling that, among the all top commercial engines Rybka is the only that needs several fix bug versions... well is better that i wait to see if I buy Rybka now or latter. Tnx Ulisses.
