The later Onno-Rybka upset was even more surprising! 26 moves.
Nice tournament.

Here is an amusing way to look at events:
1. Vas and Kaufman form a team to build best engine ever.
2. Rykba dominates everything
3. Stockfish team forms and starts catching up fast
4. Kaufman leaves and Rybka improvement slows
5. Stockfish wins "Rybka Rising From the Ashes" tournament to much acclaim!
Perhaps the lesson here is that its better to have a team than work by yourself

Interesting summary, Sam!
By the way, you can follow Hannibal now in my new broadcast, same adress.
PS: I know it's evil to pit it against the absolute best engines in the CCRL list, but we'll see what happens.

Wow, I just checked out the list of opponents, that is evil
. I will be following the results with great interest. Most of my testing has been at pretty short time controls so I am sure I will learn a lot from looking over these games, even we get our fair share of losses.
