Even the original Rybka 1.01 will beat any engine out there. The author of Rybka is being extremely conservative and gracious by calling all subsequent releases (that are progressively stronger) betas. Almost every engine out there (including the commercials) have some quirks that could be considered bugs. The author of Rybka could have easily called his releases 1.1, 1.101, 1.02 etc... but has decided not to do that. Instead he has a vision of what a mature engine should be able to do and in HIS eyes he sees anything else than his final vision of the program as beta. Beta or not, Rybka in ANY incarnation is a monster that can chew and spit out anything that is thrown at it, with any time control, and any book. Simply amazing!
