I suspect if you use only Rybka you will lose - the Hiarcs team has some titled players in it.

It seems you are ignoring the results of this poll:

The poll results suggest that even titled players cannot upset Rybka.

That poll is not what the game is about. A titled player who is allowed to use engines to help him analyse will do better than an engine alone. particularly at a time control of 2 days a move.

so your saying that chess at the correspondence level (48 hours per move) has been solved and should always result in a dull lifeless draw?
