Re: Year 2009 = 2 really big surprises
Maybe (1) is a consequence of (2). I am pretty sure no new Rybka version will be released that is NOT the strongest chess engine in the world.Jouni wrote:1. No new Rybka version or update!

I would advice Rybka to quickly get used to being 3rd or 4th.metax wrote: I am pretty sure no new Rybka version will be released that is NOT the strongest chess engine in the world.
RobboLito MP and Igorrit may soon top the league for long.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I thought these 2 are the same?!?!Matthias Gemuh wrote:I would advice Rybka to quickly get used to being 3rd or 4th.metax wrote: I am pretty sure no new Rybka version will be released that is NOT the strongest chess engine in the world.

BTW the site of Ippolit said that December 26th they will have Igorrit available. What happened? Do they have problems maybe and can't manage it to work properly?


After all these, i can't trust them to produce an MP versions stronger than Rybka 3, not to speak about Rybka 4. I trust Vasik much much more even though last month he starts to disappoint me also with all these rent Rybka's and delays but at least he is not playing theater like the cloners.
**Since CCC started to allow links of the engine also, should i assume that by referring to the Robbolito's programmers as cloners, is bad and derogates their personalities?

After his son's birth they've asked him:
"Is it a boy or girl?"
YES! He replied.....
"Is it a boy or girl?"
YES! He replied.....

Re: Year 2009 = 2 really big surprises
I personaly think that in a couple of months,Rybka will get used to be even 5th or 6th in the rating lists....Before 4 months I predicted that Rybka's dominancy is almost over,now it's realy over and thanks God for that....the computer chess is entering a new dawnMatthias Gemuh wrote:I would advice Rybka to quickly get used to being 3rd or 4th.metax wrote: I am pretty sure no new Rybka version will be released that is NOT the strongest chess engine in the world.

No,they are preparing the next assault with submachine guns against Vasik to overtake his MP algorithm and hense the delay of Igorit's release date....George Tsavdaris wrote:I thought these 2 are the same?!?!Matthias Gemuh wrote:I would advice Rybka to quickly get used to being 3rd or 4th.metax wrote: I am pretty sure no new Rybka version will be released that is NOT the strongest chess engine in the world.

I prefer to celebrate the achievements of the authors we know. I think it's great that there is now competition at the top. Congratulations to Stefan, Alex and the Stockfish team for their excellent work (and of course to all authors of legitimate engines, no matter how strong).
Cheers,
Graham.
PS - hope you're enjoying a nice break.

Hey, maybe they just prefer to be anonymous. Their politics are a little... weird... + they figured Vas + worshipers might annoy them, so maybe they just want to stay anonymous.
Yeah, it's a weird theory, but who knows?
