Exacty, but certainly not Rybka 4 which was the whole point of this thread.

Mr Silver is giving people here wrong impression of the engine he used,

which means he is not telling the true.

What about Strelka?

Yes, it is the only one I have installed. I never have more than 5-6 engines in my engine list, which are the ones I analyze with and a couple I am experimenting/toying with. Beta 6 to be more precise.

It wasn't Houdini, nor Hiarcs, and it was not Rybka 3. Hmmm... could it have been Rybka 4??

Strelka 2.0B 64 bit and 1.0 beta both find a mate at ply 9, announced as a mate in 97. 1.0 beta doesn't have an analyze mode, I used infinite time control, and it played Bc4. I left 2.0B sit for a few minutes, and it didn't find a shorter mate, but didn't crash either.

Mr. Silver is a Rybka fan boy. Just shy with the truth as its
mates creed. :lol:
