Why you're never going to catch Rybka

[GenoM]

If Vas was smart enough to improve Rybka 1 by some 300 rating points I think he's smart enough to have created it from scratch.

Have any of users of Rybka 3 made any matches between Rybka 3 & 1 to prove such a bold statement (about 300+ rating points)?

"I think" is a long way from "I know"...

that was my point...

Perhaps Vas prefer to get 49 bucks of 49 instead of 5 of 29.
He sell less, but he gets a bigger shunk.
Besides I doubt Ubisoft people are interested in getting the stronger engine. With The JKing it is enough for them. His problem is what else to add in frills and bells for Chessmaster 12 to sell.

I thought you knew something about computer Chess. I'm disappointed i was wrong.

CEGT 40/40
[CCRL 40/40


CEGT and CCRL have 1 CPU Rybka 3 to be around 240 to 245 ELO points stronger than Rybka 1.0.
So it's stronger by about 300 ELO points.

240-245 shouldnt be rounded up to 300..unless you are counting oodles.

It seems you voted Obama, didn´t you?

I'm counting oodles because rating lists (the elo formula) have flaws in that they underrate strong engine when there are strength gaps and the stronger engine has to play much weaker opposition. If the gaps in strength from Rybka 2.3.2a and Rybka 3 were filled by many other engines Rybka 3 would be much closer to her real rating of Rybka1+300.

Ofcourse, he said once in CTF that he was going to vote for Obama. And what has this got to do with anything here?! Does Tony and Obama share similar tone and style the way they talk?

Yes, ofcourse, you're right, it could be rounded up to 250! which is still damn too much for higher rated engine...!
