Subject: A random engine improvement observation

Hi all, this is non-sober mode.

What can we expect will be the top-performance in a few months?

Rybka 64 bit multithreaded with endgame knowledge added, in CEGT terms, I
predict, will be around 2900 ELO.

Less than half a year ago, top engine was Schredder 9, about 2750 ELO. OK,
multithreaded would be something like 2800, but still...

Only now are multicore comps usual, so in practical terms, it's a 150 ELO
increase in half a year, also taking into account better/cheaper processors in
that time.

Pretty damn exciting.

Over and out

almost now sober, Mr. Nielsen
