It has already been answered by history. Of course CB has nothing to fear from such ideosyncratic novelties. Look at Ed Schröders REBEL. That was a strong program, strong as hell. It did also beat Anand!! But it was a DOS program and it couldnt even handle game notation with variations. I speak on behalf of three billion people worldwide if I say now that if a really strong master program or human player appeared who would only understand Chinese dialect from HuangZhin, then I and CCC and all these 3 billion people wouldnt lift a single eyebrow! I wouldnt care at all. I would still use Fritz and ChessBase even if Fritz played in the Third Legue of the next WCCCCC! I would give a damn s___ about FRUIT, RYBKA or whatever, as long as this here is such a hoax event that you all ignore 300 fine and really creative chessengines and only give your support for the engine that was presented with the greatest ballyhoo. The other day my attention was directed to The Thinker - WOW! - a brilliant program with a strength of over 2700 and all what your heart could need. Why wasting so much time with Rybka? I ask that question for the single reason that you dont support or waste your energies in favor of the rest of the 299 engines. I dont like such arbitrariness! And unfairness. And lack of sportsman's ship...
