The hardware was Athlon XP2600+ which was better than average
for the tournament.
Obviously, Rybka 1.0 was not the first version. Obviously, he had
work that was reasonable and more work to make it as good as
Rybka 1.0. Also, more work to make it much better than Rybka 1.0.
The historical way to make a clone accusation starts with "It makes
moves just like .....". Rybka seems original in its move choices otherwise
it wouldn't be rated so much higher than all the rest.
