Can't seem to download your Rybka Beta logo at the moment, but maybe it is just temporary? It is a coincidence I thought about Wilhelm's logos too, his site does not seem to be around anymore, at least not the one that was mentioned in the original post in the archives. There were three sizes of this logo I believe.
The Rybka logo on the site of Kurt won't display here:
Happy Birthday to you too George! Mine is still a couple of weeks away. Lots of chessplayers were fishes I believe, Fischer of course with his name Korchnoi too I think.
Don'feel so smart myself at the moment. Computerchesswise: Toga just blundered away a sure draw against Naum, and now I have to find out why it did that. Didn't help that suddenly it reaches only 8 plies deep where it should do twelve and then it plays 61. c4??

Lots of moves seem to draw draw here, but after 61... R6f2+ Blacks a-pawn was covered and couldn't be stopped in the endgame, although it took a lot of moves. The consolation is that I only have to get the plydepths up again, somehow, so Toga sees it in time, but it is still a blunder.
But Toga did almost beat Naum in the first game, at least it had a very good position at one time with Black threatening Qa1+:

Maybe Toga should have opted for b4 instead of Ra8 which was the last move.
Maybe Toga's eval was far too optimistic but for some moves it was +2 or more. Not enough though...
Just got in from taking my granddaughter to eat and shop ( of course). Interesting position to say the least. Will have a look at it if i can get lucky and find the time. Wife yelling at me now. What a life!
