Big Day

Post by AdminX »

Well this is it, the quiet before the storm. Tomorrow I guess all hell will break loose. I wonder which forums might go down because of the flood of posts from users all over the place. With Chessbase version not being released till Aug 11, Its now Convekta's BIG day to shine.

---------------------------------
In order to ensure the quality of Rybka 3 and to enable the author to
provide full documentation for it, the simultaneous release of UCI
Rybka 3, Aquarium Rybka 3 and CA10 is delayed until August 6.

All customers who have placed an order for these products will be able
to download them starting August 6. This applies both to those who
ordered the DVD version and those who ordered the download version,

The DVD version will be sent out a few days later.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

I doubt how many are going to buy rybka at the first date.
I guess that most of the buyers of rybka are going to wait and are not going to buy so fast espacially when there is more than one option to buy and it is not clear which package to buy.

I see no reason to expect flood of posts from users all over the place
and I never buy a program before seeing CEGT and CCRL rating for her.

I read posts by testers but I prefer to read first results of tests by objective testers not from the rybka team.

Like there was no reason to delay Jeroen's book, but they still delayed it.

So, it's some obsession for releasing everything at the same time.

It seems Conbekta doesn't believe beta-testers about Rybka 3 monstrous strength.

Hi !

In my opinion Mr. Rajlich, Convekta & ChessBase deliberately delayed the release of this new chess engine because they wait for a great amount of anticipated payments. The pirates are very fast in our days and ...............the money amount will be in decline soon !

NB: a question please: the logo of this new chess engine is " pro deo " ? :lol:

endgames positions or test Idea.
Great day !
