Rybka without doubts is the strongest available engine (I do not say commercial available as these release are just beta versions) without any doubt. The SSDF list does show how strong is Hiarcs 10. There is nothing wrong to tell about your opinions based on games you saw, but here if one states something (even if saying "it seems to me" or "I am starting to believe" or something similar) someone will ask you proof. I know it is crazy, but this is the way it is in this forum. Just don't bother them. In 1976 I said that after year 2000 the computers would have reached GMaster level and nearly everybody was laughing stating it was not possible...and asking proofs...you know how it went! Simply don't bother to them!:-) Ciao Sandro
