 I played a couple of games against Rybka beta,Shredder 8, Deep Fritz 8,
TheKing3.23,Fruit 2.2.1 and Junior 8 at depth=1 for programs and 5'/40 = 7.5
sec/move for me.

 It's clear that Rybka uses the same time (time=0 seconds as GUI reports,
actually that would be a fraction of a second and the GUI reports 0) as other
engines. Clear not only because the GUI reports it, but mainly because i can
judge and compare from the games.

What is happening:

Me - Shredder 8   = 4-0    (own book)
Me - Deep Fritz 8 = 4-0    (own book)
Me - The King 3.23= 4-0    (Hiarcs8 book)
Me - Deep Junior 8= 3-1    (own book)
Me -Fruit 2.2.1   = 4-0    (own book)
Me - Rybka beta   = 2-2    (Tiger book)

I can't believe it! Rybka played much better and this can been seen from the
results of course. I couldn't beat it 2 times at depth=1.....!
I don't know how Rybka does this?!?!?
