Some notes:

1)Note that you did not test rybka 64 bit that is faster(I do not blame you for
this but it is possible that the picture could be better for rybka with the 64
bit version).
2)Note that rybka is only an early version when we can expect improvement in
rybka1.2

The bottom line is that I expect that people who buy rybka are going to have
something better than hiarcs10.

Based on my observation the main weaknesses of rybka are that in some cases it
does not understand  endgames or king safety.

I understood that the first weakness is going to be solved in Rybka1.2 and we
can expect rybka1.2 in february 2006.
