Rybka beta was released free of charge for a 24 hour period only on
Leo's site - http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/index.html. At the time of the short
release the author appeared to be in need of instant feedback from testers and
this was his method of getting it. The program is no longer available free of
charge, you purchase it from www.rybkachess.com as an .exe file with a DOS
display. If you want to play against it download freeware Arena from
http://www.playwitharena.com/ and integrate Rybka.
For a 2200 player, Rybka is the best available because of it's style of play.
If however you want an instant fix, download freeware Slowchess
http://www.3dkingdoms.com/chess/slow.htm.
It comes with its own nice interface and will beat you 85% of the time. However
you will enjoy losing to Rybka more.
Happy Chanukah
