Liar again. Where did I speak of the end of Rybka? Evidence now or shut up! What
I said was this

1) Fritz won the CSS Online Master in beating Rybka 3-1.

2) This is a break of the continual performance of wins of Rybka since Dec 2005.


Period.

Do you want to refutate a single or both of these statements? Some people
produce a lot of words, but I speak out the 'true content'.

Some people go berserk because they read that if someone says "Rybka lost a
tournament" that Rybka is no longer a strong engine. But this perspective is
their own false view which they cant attach to my messages.
