Too many of my games are drawish
I don't know why but most, if not all of my games, are drawish no matter how weak or strong my opponent. I'm using 2 quad 2.0ghz processor with 4gb of hash. My engine is Rybka 2.3.2a. I can't figure out whats going on with it. I should have enough processor power but it just wants to draw. Can't someone help me out. Thanks.

Post some games showing reached depth and thinking time, then we'll be able to see if something is actually wrong.

That's pretty impressive - drawing with Rybka.
Oh, wait. You're probably playing 3+0 games on playchess.com.

I reloaded my operating system and shredder gui. See if this helps. I'll get back to you if i don't. Well yes i'm playing 3-5min blitz games but i shouldn't be drawing most of the time against much weaker opponents. Well hope this works.

Re: Too many of my games are drawish
it would help to know the stats of games played won/lost/draw etc.
Draw is a lot common, this is chess!

Try Edit > Copy > Copy Game.

Re: Too many of my games are drawish
I did the edit copy games but how do i paste them here? I feel like i'm running only on one quad processor. I see guys with just one quad processor getting 16 to 17ply and 500-700kn/s and i'm using 8 processors and i'm only getting 16ply and 400kn/s. I'm also using windows 64bit. I've tried changing hash size from 256 to 1024. It does show that i'm using 8 threads. Shouldn't i be getting more ply and kn/s?

My opinion about playing rybka's against other Rybkas. It's pretty much like a healthy person competing in special olympics. Even if you win you are still an imbecile.
