Go up one level in this thread


I don't think it says the release is in may 1 2006. it says that we have bought
a subscription till may 2006 .

The engine is already fantastic,   so i am pleased that vasik is giving himself
time. What i don't want is for him to rush the engine, and give us a "final
product" that is highly flawed. Then we have to pay another 35 euro to get the
next version.

I think if rybka is to be a financial success, it must stay at number 1 for
awhile. It needs to get a reputation as the best analysis tool. Then, chess
players, desperate for any edge, will buy it.

I am sure fruit and shredder authors are already looking for ways to negate
rybka's advantage with passed pawns. That seems like something immiediatly
achievable. there may be other adjustments that could eliminate the gap between
rybka and other engines.

Rybka is now in every programmers cross-hairs (gun sight). Vasik needs to final
product to be very strong if it is to stay on top
