I do not blame friends trying to help :-)
We will know sooner or later, I guess.

It is. I think I read that they are trying to make it the world's strongest engine. Rather ambitious....

I also think for a while on playchess it played the same moves as Rybka 3. And had 5.09/5.12 bug.....

This sound as a commercial program as much a company is engaged on it.

When the advantage for one side (might just me white, or both), Rybka 3 gets stuck analyzing with an eval at 5.09 or 5.12. It doesn't climb any higher. Kinda weird. One of the more.... noticeable.... bugs that hopefully Rybka 4 will fix. (Though it appears that Vas has yet to do that.)
