Somme search tweaks >and some more endgame knowledge will translate to more than 50 Elos. Excuse me for the shallow language, but - Why do you *hate* Rybka so much? All your posts are filled with baseless anti-Rybka propaganda and from the day it was released you used every opportunity you had to bash and disrespect it. What's your problem with it, really? you also underestimate way too much in my opinion .. Do you realize at all what did Vasik did for computerchess and how much he contributed with the release of Rybka? The way it seems, Rybka is the future. not only It will offer appropriate analysis but hopefully in the future it would help chess players understand the game better by showing what it thinks and annotating positions verbally. This is much more interesting and important than plain engine-engine playing strength. I also think that Rybka will be one of the few chess programs that will offer something new with every release.(contrary to the annual engine strengthening or the Fritz GUI bugfest) >Shredder 9 was only moderately improved compared to Shredder 8 (if my assessment >based on what I have read is right).

I think SMK knows to raise the bar and his abilities when he has to.. 2-3 years ago he completely ruled the rating lists and I guess he just rested on his laurels waiting for some serious competition. > >So once again: 1.
