Go up one level in this thread


I think Rybka 14 with endgame knowledge, will be a great advancement in the
maturity of Rybka as a complete engine.  I personally am very interested in
testing it in positions from tournaments I have done in which Rybka was winning
easily but couldnt finish off its opponent due to lack of endgame knowledge.

Already Rybka is far and away the strongest engine by at least 100 ELO points,
endgame knowledge with probably add another 30 ELO points to that.  But what is
more important, it will give Rybka a maturity that it now lacks for analyzing
positions and endings.
