I would think for most players just having different engines that play unique styles would be more interesting to study. Some of the "lesser" engines are more colorful
With open source we will reach a time in the future where all top engines will play the same
Besides most engines beat %99.9 percent of us anyway. Can't let all the science ruin the "art"

If I was Vas I would not release Rybka 4 until being completely sure it couldn't be hacked/disasembled and source code published as it happened to Rybka 3.rlsuth wrote:Of course, if you were of a suspicious mind, you'd wonder if there was no better way than to ensure good sales of Rybka 4 than to have new programs from "unknown authors" surpass the previous version in strength.

Rybka 3+ wasn't released as he promised,then he lost the Rybka 3 source code and that's why he won't release Rybka 3+,not that he don't want to,it's just he can't....what a sore loser

lol, no such thing as hack proof, not unless a new machine language is invented. And that too will be hackedAndres Valverde wrote: If I was Vas I would not release Rybka 4 until being completely sure it couldn't be hacked/disasembled and source code published as it happened to Rybka 3.

Rybka has lead the rating race for about 4 Years(Dec.2005-Dec.2009)
so about 4 years in total..
however this pales in comparison to Richard Langs commercial chess engines which were the strongest engines that money could buy for 7 consecutive years
1985-1991

I was the first to advance this hypothesis, in Rybka forum, some time ago (that would be a great marketing idea).
As a very clever italian politician said: If you think the worse, you sin, but, often, you are right...
Was it before this post?: http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforu ... =85281;hl=
I hope I didn't give anybody any ideas
