Yes, but what does *any* of this have to do with Rybka??? ;-) ;-)

Sorry, Tord I couldn't resist!!  BTW, my friend if anyone deserves to post
whatever they feel like here it's you.  You're one of the few contributors to
the forum that I *always* read.

Anyway, don't let it get you down--one of these days we'll start talking about
computer chess programming again!  Until then of course, I simply can't get
enough of the umpteenth CM personality or what are the optimal hash table
settings for program X.  The signal to noise ratio is extremely low these days.

take care,
