Go up one level in this thread


Are you sure you did all those moves within 5 minutes? and your opponent was
Rybka?

However, Rybka on "instant" timing, is not what you judge it by.
That is the BIGGEST joke. It might even be considered malicous to write it in a
heading on CCC. People first imagine you are talking about Rybka, playing at its
normal strength.
Engines bring out alot of their strength at 5 minutes per game, but not at 0
seconds per game.
This doesn't always mean that a human can just play any mistake he wants against
a top computer on "instant". Still, you can't make a mockery of the whole
program judging by its intstant.
If you want, you can request that the programmer (Rajlich) makes "instant"
stronger, just like people requested that he makes blitz stronger.
