Rybka's magic settings...I think I 've found them

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

If this puts Rybka 4 greatly stronger in elo etc. than the best programs or clones of now, in THEIR best known settings, and is good in different timings, then I'm ending my wait-and-see policy, and ordering it asap.

An excellent estimation Shirom....the same thought striked my mind....

This is the 2nd tournament I've run with these settings, the first of which had a slightly higher score. Some of the games Rybka was down as much as 2.00 but would some how end up going into endgame equal or winning!

If anyone is interested in the games I will upload them

My first question is why is the c1-bishop worth less than the f1-bishop?
