I don't know cause I'm not a computer chess expert, but >all this seems bizarre. From what I have seen Rybka has great knowledge but not in the way of traditional chess knowledge by having a huge evaluation function. Like all chess engines I expect Rybka to play better on faster hardware but I so far think the gain of fast hardware is less than most other programs. From what I see Rybka ranks higher in blitz than long tc games. This is at least the case on the CEGT rating list. Ryan
