Is this not an extreme difference to the strengths of some of the versions used in ccct10? Those were much closer in strength to Rybka, if not equal or stronger (e.g. Naum, which tied with Rybka even after losing a game by default)

In my opinion ponder off, 32 bit, single threaded is quite different than the CCT10 circumstances.

Also only 8 rounds played to date.

Isn't Loop 10.32f supposed to perform better than Loop 13.6 at these conditions?
