The computer vs. computer rating lists have certain
advantages, but they also provide little in the way of
information as to how well a program would handle
humans, relative to one another. The one thing we
can be sure of is that if Rybka can squash all the
other top programs, it simply cannot be weak.

All true. But it will be even harder to find humans to fight, and all
that we know, is that the computer program that tied Kramnik, loses to
Rybka.

Rybka has clearly drawn a new line in the sand, and I am sure that the
major engine designers have a new bar to overcome.

But I gotta say, the whole UCI concept, means that I can do it all in
the interface that I like. Which for me, is the Chessbase one. So I
guess they all win, at least from me.
