Subject: One possible cause of Rybka Weakness in endgames

Author: Claude Le Page

Sevral posts have noticed that Rybka is rather weak in endgames ,especially
against Junior : this put me on apossible track : when its position is not
clearly better , a Juhior engine uses its fastness to complicate  , and Rybka
must follow at maximum depth ,what is very costly in time : so , in endgame ,
Rybka is in zeitnot , and analyzes only at depth 13 where thr other is at depth
17
The same happens between Junior  and Hiarcs : Their Knowledge slowen hem too
much in front of engines that use long calculated lines
The same seem to happen vs  TogaII 1.1a , whose style is similar to Juniors
Could this be a possible explanation?
