Normally Rybka ends the game in Middle game (25-30 moves). But today Beginner Level was able to play till end Game. It took Rybka 51 Moves to win GetClub Beginner Level. Today an improvement was done So Rybka (Hard Level) was unable to Mate in 25-30 Moves as it used to earlier. How many players / Programs has beaten Rybka. I think with the improvement Normal Level may some day win Rybka.

Hi, How large should the hash table size be? The large the better? Or is 1536 MB wasting hash memory? And is 512 MB enough? Thanks Dieter

Theoretically speaking, if my personal goal was to achieve a draw in EVERY game that I played (as stupid or ill-advised as that may sound to most people), then what is the highest chess rating that I could possibly achieve and is it theoretically possible to be a Grandmaster having never won OR lost a game?

I found that When Playing with Rybka it was processing the Moves on a fast Server. A server is 15-20 times faster than a Desktop where Applet is loaded. I got below Information from a Website "There are certain workstation models on the market with a total of eight cores today. With each core able to perform 5.2 gigaflops (5.2 billion floating-point operations per second) as a measure of peak

Rybka which claims to be best Chess program was beaten by Beginner Level today. Rybka played wrong move thinking it will Mate in 2/3 But the King was saved and Rybka Resigned saying Unable to Respone. Rybka was playing at Hard Level and Beginner was playing with Black Pieces. This show Rybka is not Strongest Chess Program in the World as

Does anyone know where I can find a mephisto wooden desktop computer? They seem to not be making them anymore... Thanks Mike

Hello Chess Friends, One of the very strong GMs that plays on ICC goes by the handle of "Goldmund." He is actually Alexander Rustemov from Russia. He is one of the few, the proud, the daring humans to take on Rybka at blitz. Lately, he has been playing at a time control of 3 minutes with an increment of 5 seconds. Like "Smallville" (AKA Hikaru Nakamura), he is conversant with the...

In the engine management window the engines Fritz Giveaway and Mate 2.0 are displayed but they don't show up in the window "change chess engines." How would I fix this? Also, how do I download other engines to use? Just put them in the "Engines" folder? Thanks

I use Fritz 9, 80% of the time as a manual analysis board. For this purpose I switch the engine off (Engine, Switch off engine), but every time I load a new position, and sometimes I think if I edit the PGN in certain ways, the engine starts up again. Very annoying. Even if I go to Engines, Engine Management, and make all the engines inactive, the 5.32 engine still starts up! Is there...

When I run a game or analysis...in the main engine pane at the top...the boxes that show the engine,move,ply..etc seem to overrun on the font and seem smudged,making it impossible to read,it just smears black until you can'r make out anything.Anyone know what might cause this?Thanks.

I've noticed that there is no *.eng file in fritz10 or fritz11. Is there a way to invoke those engines in chessbase 9?

Initially Jester was winning But in Middle game somehow GetClub again came ahead of Jester. But when End Game Came Beginner played bad moves and lost its winning position. Can you find mistakes of Beginner Level? Game Played between Jester and beginner at GetClub.com

I have been watching Nakamura take on Rybka lately at blitz on ICC. He can draw an unexpected number of times given that Rybka is rated at about 3700 in blitz and he is only about 3400. Sometimes he even wins by running the computer out of time. I learned a few tricks from him. I used them to win from a lesser computer engine that was rated 2698 in blitz. It took me 260 moves. The...
