No Rolf, It is not bogus. I don't know why I am bothering to answer this sort of
crap. However I will try:-
Mr Rajlich has currently released 12!!!! beta versions. If you really want to
claim that he stored up 12 beta versions so that he could impress people with
the progress made in 3 weeks then do so but you will simply appear to be a fool.
The quoted section below is from the Rybka Readme:
"1) Rybka Beta 1 through Rybka Beta 7 - same strength
2) Rybka Beta 9 - first of the search changes, first improvement in playing
strength
3) Rybka Beta 10, Rybka Beta 10d, Rybka Beta 11, Rybka Beta 12 - further
search changes and further improvement in playing strength"
You will notice that Beta1 through to beta7 are the SAME strength. So it now
appears that in order to impress us with his ability to steadily increase
strength, not only has he stored up 12 betas but 7 of them are deliberately made
the same strength!!!
You never let either facts or lack of knowledge make you examine your own
predjudices do you Rolf!
Mr Silver, some of this applies to you as well. Please take note!
