I saw data that suggest significant improvement

http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/cegtrating4040all.html

1 Rybka 1.01 Beta 9 64-bit opt 2921 73 68 71 80.3 % 2677 33.8 %
2 Rybka 1.0 Beta 64-bit 2859 21 21 765 68.4 % 2725 32.7 %


of course the statistical error is too high but I believe that there is already
an improvement and I expect 50 elo from better endgame knowledge(50 elo was
vasik's expectation).

I know also that rybka(at least until 10d had bugs in the search and could not
see draw by the 50 move rule and correcting that bug can give another small
improvement).
