Rybkas are still dominant there

More like losing dominance, when compared to Rybka's past on playchess. The real question is will Rybka 4 put down this uprising??

I would really like to see some game from big machines in playchess, but unfortunatly when I tried to connect to computer's room I got "maximum accounts reached" and "you need a serial key to access this room"

I have an original copy of Fritz11 with the original serial number, but it is old more then one year, I have seen googling around that Chessbase disables access to some part of playchess server, namely computer room that is the one I am interested in , after an year from subscription date.

This is a pity because I can access all the other rooms as example main room.

It's a shame. Recently only paid, valid members can access the engine room. This was a result of people abusing the free membership and using "clones" that are not allowed. Those people would then get banned, only to re-create a guest/free account and do it all over again.

It still hasn't fully solved the problem of IPPOLIT on playchess, but it has made things better. I wish they would change their policy to allow any engine, but that's really another discussion, and more appropriately, none of my business.

It is

What is still a shame is that there are so few amatuer engines of varying strength.

I left Jabba there for a while getting hammered, and gave up.

You might be right.

The number of Rybkas and Stockfishes are now equal.
There were 10 more Rybkas this afternoon.
