MChess is in for a beating vs Rybka 2.2
Well at least MChess got to test its muscles against the modern heavyweights.
Funny how the old but very stylistic programs like Mchess, Tiger, Junior, Rebel all seem to lose much the same way vs today's top programs like Houdini, Rybka 4, etc. In my pc I keep a stable of old 1999-2004 programs and I let them play against each other just so that their individual styles would shine more clearly.

Hi,

yes the old engines cannot show their typical strengths and styles against the modern champs, thats the reason i let the old engines play against each other.
The resulting games are exciting, funny and i often see position very unclear....

By the way i think M-Chess should be able to play some draws even vs Rybka 2.2. it depends heavy on the opening.....
