My Congrats to team Rybka and to Vasik Rajlich!

[mclane]

is this the new shredder that is 100 ELO stronger ?

[Uri Blass]

I understood that yes.

Note that shredder got 3 draws out of 5 games against rybka in FRC and commercial hiarcs could get only 25% against rybka in FRC based on Ray's tests.

"Just another bit of information on preparation: In Mainz the four contestants all play on the same hardware. Unfortunately, those PCs had a 32 bit OS. But Vas was prepared for that. He had a 64 bit OS with him (presumably Vista) and installed it the evening before the match."

I understood that the other participants were not smart enough to bring 64 bit OS with them so rybka had some additional advantage relative to the opponents because I believe that shredder earn 20% speed improvement or something like that from 64 bits.

Why didnt the other ones borrowed the 64bit os from him?

[Ralf]

All participants where aware that we could use an 64-Bit OS, in fact it was clearified a week before the tournament started. I think that they were too lazy to do this, or, like in the case of Spike, do not benefit from an 64-Bit OS.

Your suggestion is illegal by the way.
