Subject: Re: One possible cause of Rybka Weakness in endgames

Go up one level in this thread



One thing that has been overlooked or at least not mentioned here is the fact
that Rybka's problems begin about 2/3 of the way thru the middle game, not just
strictly 5 and 6 man endgames or so. Tablebases will most likely help some, but
that last 3rd of the middle game is the kicker. I have seen it blow too many
good positions BEFORE it gets to the endgame. It is not going to survive with
the elite in long matches over the long haul without some drastic changes being
made. The program has some problems- however strong it may seem.  Not an opinion
this time. George
