On a slow AMD 1500 MHz machine with ponder off and both programs using Shredder 8.ctg opening book I obtained an intermediate score of zero wins for Beta 13D,7 Draws and two losses against it's older brother Rybka 1.0. Eventually, the new program would have probably gotten a few wins and obtained parity with the old inferior program. I noticed that the old Rybka was more aggressive at passing pawns and holding on to the queen. I saw no real improvement in an already excellent program. We shall have to wait for the vaunted Rybka 1.2 in order to get god-like performance. Enjoy, Uncle Timbo PS On a faster dual processor or an AMD FX-60 I am sure that the new Rybka 64 bit program would be much better than the first Rybka....or would it?
