Just a brief note... I have converted my ICC account into a public
computer account. I am now running the latest released version of Rybka
with Chess Assistant 9.1 as the interface. The account's rating has sky
rocketed as a result. It is at 2823 in blitz at this point. That is
without any sort of optimizing -- just fresh out of the box.
I am just running on a laptop, so I do not expect to reach the same
rating as Transwarp which is around 3700~. However, already my engine
is rated higher than many human GMs.

Describing this as "my engine" is like saying that you bought a volume
of Shakespeare and that "my plays" are better than most modern
playwrights.

Dave,
I know I didn't write the software. :) The authors have no fear of me
claiming any part of their intellectual work. But I am having the fun.
It is my engine in the sense that I bought it, operate it, and will
eventually have some fun tinkering with the various configuration
options, and the customizable opening repertoire.
I met a guy on ICC that was running a 64 bit version of Rybka. He has a
much different attitude than what you usually see in chess players. He
is a race car enthusiast. So to him comparing features of a chess
engine is like comparing parts of a race car... Who has the best
carburetor etc. A neat guy and a refreshing change! :)

I haven't played Hiarcs yet. I need to figure out how to modify Rybka's
opening repertoire. I don't like some of the openings it is playing.
Oh and the GM in the match versus Rybka is Roman Dzhindschihashvili
(sp). I believe he is getting the white pieces every game and black is
removing a random pawn. I haven't been following that one.
Heh, heh: "Run humans, run! Rybka is coming!!"
