Subject: Rybka will lose to Topalov

The beta version of Rybka will lose to Topalov if the match will take place
today.
He will be smashed in the endgame by Topalov.

It should be emphasized that most of the engines lose to Rybka without reaching
the endgame . So we still have to see the performance of Rybka in the endgame
department. Comes February 20, 2006 and the released of the Full Version as
promised by Vas, we will now have a look at the endgame capability of Rybka.

As mentioned in the previous Forum, Fritz and Shredder is the best in the
endgame department. I don't have any information about the endgame knowledge of
Spike, Toga, Zappa and Fruit. The Rybka engines should solve basic endgames
position even without the Nalimov Endgame Tables.

Ah , February 20 - a very long wait before we will see  Rybka's performance in
the endgames. For Vas, Are there really many endgame heuristics that will be
added ? After that  Will it be at par with Fritz , Shredder in the endgame ?

Thank You Vas for Rybka and sharing your technical knowledge in the readme file
about what you are doing with your program.
