I don't know cause I'm not a computer chess expert, but >all this seems bizarre. Yes,If that's true and not over exxagerated,you are right Rybka is mostly a knowledge based,people here say that Rybka has a lot of knowledge code in it that's why it makes moves so faster,given a slow hardware. you may have noticed that Rybka's NPS is very low in a blitz game yet it makes strong moves in a reflex.Lot of knowledge added to the code,nothing less. Other programs are programmed in one of techniques or common techniques,I doubt that Vasik has a new technique unknown to computer chess programmers,but who listens to me :)
