[Harvey Williamson]

Don'r bother Jeremy,in a couple of months there will be major changes in the computer chess world and the consequences of these changes will wipe out bugs like Rolf for good....

As long as Vas does not promise the bug fix

[Eelco de Groot]

Knock it off guys, please. This is going nowhere. Moderation request pending.

Thanks, Eelco

[Dr.Ex]

Sure, 27-13 for Rybka.

When you consider lying as a stock in trade in your line of work,your're doomed before you know it....it's just that is seems that our friend in question here,the author of Rybka,doesn't have the ability to recognize this simple truth....

To each his own. As far as I'm concerned, a bug is something that prevents it from fulfilling its intended purpose(s). I.e. it crashes if it uses 1GB hash, or it only uses one core when it should be using two.

If the measure of a bug is it misevaluates a given position, then I am afraid every engine on the planet is guilty.

[Rolf]

your accusation of "hate" is so off the mark that it merits a special mention. You are diverting the argument from a matter of facts and events into some emotional world that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
You're not supporting Vas -- you're supporting your own biases and prejudices (which is natural, of course), and there's no reason to expect that I (or anyone else) should do so, as well.

Jeremy

Could not agree more. Rolf also accused me of hating Vas. I think Rolf does far more damage than good in this debate.

Too late. hiarcs team pays doubleprice on Rybka online servers. A moment ago I was thinking about amnesty for my good friends. But this is too much. Next week I will publish the sources of Hiarcs 12!!

Refusal to underpromote to bishop and refusal to provide knowledge for KBP vs K is not a misevaluation.

What is it then? You are saying the code is there but a bug prevents it from working?

The bug is that such basic code is missing .

That's not a bug. If missing information is a bug, then I can only reiterate: all engines are guilty.
