Do humans rated 2775+ still have a chance against Rybka 3 ?

Are humans rated 2775+ as successful against P.C today as they were 8 years ago using the fastest single processor?

Since the SSDF list is calibrated against human-computer results from 2000-2008, and more than 80% of those humans were rated below 2775 anyway, I think it is a mistake to look at the 3000+ SSDF ratings of the top programs and to conclude that those top programs will dominate today's top grandmasters. The battle is not over yet, or is it :?: Rybka 3 can Not give pawn handicap like it does to GM Benjamin to a 2775+ rated player yet.

That's not chess I think. That's piece or pawn handicap game.

Perhaps that was time handicap or something... I forgot.

There is goes again, you read so fast that you missed my last sentence :wink:

The battle is not over yet, or is it. Rybka 3 can Not give pawn odd handicap like it does to GM Benjamin to a 2775+ rated player yet.

GM Milov also played two normal games at 90 + 30 and only 6 games were pawn handicaped with Rybka playing with an Octal computer ( NOT single processor ) :roll:

PS: Here is GM Milov comments and personal opinion about humans vs computer:

Milov's results were very impressive indeed ... but in no way shape or form was the match a classic chess match. It was a handicap match against a 2700 player and it was extremely difficult for the human. Some time back Kasparov lost to Genius 3 on weak hardware ... the same Genius 3 lost several games against Rybka 3 with a Knight handicap. Ofcourse Kasparov lost in a blitz game and that is not the same ... but while a human time is static ... for computers hardware makes time a very dynamic parameter. An 8 core today probably plays 100 X faster than the Genius 3 that played against Kasparov (if not more).

I realy believe that an 8 core Rybka 3 plays at around a 3200 ELo ... if matched against humans it might be even higher than that. It would be a brave bunch of super GM's that would try to disprove that fact.

Not all games were handicaped 2 games out of the eight were normal. First I wrote that no FIDE rated player with a 2775+ and Rybka 3 with a single processor ( Not an 8 core super computer ). But if you take one of the best 5 players which are rated above 2775+ at the same time control 90 + 30 which GM Milov played, you might even see better result for the humans.

PS: Simple logic will tell you that GM Milov played Rybka 3 with 8 core procesors and is rated only 2705, now what do you expect from GM Anand or Kramnik with rybka using a single processors.
