Thanks, this is really good news. When the time management issue is fixed, it
means that Rybka will be able to think 3 times as long, which is like tripling
the speed of your CPU. So we might expect Rybka to gain another 50 or so points
of ELO, assuming your statements are correct, and further lengthen its already
sizeable lead on the competition.
