Rybka 3 still stronger than Stockfish?

[Jouni]

After 600 blitz games in dual 64 bit CPU:

Rybka 3 - Stockfish 1.9 303,5 - 296,5

My prediction is, if/when Stockfish reaches R4 level in 2 years there is already R5 with +50 points and so on.

That result only means none of them is stronger and that SF 1.9 did in fact reach R3 level.
Your prediction suggests that SF team would need 2 years to gain 40 elo????
It also means that Vas will be able to improve R4 for 50 elo in 2 years????
And the most funny part, do you really think R5 will appear in only 2 years from now on?

I prefer SF 1.8.ja w32. It is at the same elo as R3 and Fire 1.3.
The three could be the same engine.
