HIARCS Chess Forums

About the prize fund: I have been ask to give an idea what the total prize fund would be. As of now it will be 1500 US dallors, but not all my sources have comeback to me yet. So it will be subjected to change and will probably be higher. I'm make a final number know before the tournament starts. My...

I am relaying this message as asked by Jimmy H. from Rybka Forum to correspondence chess players that may be interested. Dear Hiarcs Members, As you may have heard there is going to be a tournament on the Rybka Forum in a couple of months. And I am looking at the other forums in the hopes to bring t...

TheHug at Rybka Forum is having problems creating an account here, so I'm posting this for him (what he said is in italics): As some of you know now. I have been looking at the interest of having a tournament on this forum. An the input has been overwhelmingly positive as up to now everyone has had ...

Okay, that would explain it.

Are you suggesting he is not a native Spanish speaker!? Either that or he is very sloppy, his machine translated English is really bad because the translator isn't capable of recognizing his bad Spanish in several words.

Yes, we got Rybka at high depth and much more, that may be the key to winning (if that's even possible, I'm trying to keep hope, but it escapes.)

Thanks Nelson, good luck on the freestyle.

17.Bf3 was played, I think that chances we're playing Rybka 3 at high depth are really high.

But that's with multi-PV 2, I'd say the opponent isn't even doing that and will play the single PV Rybka move (Bf3, I think.)

These doubled pawns in the center look ugly to me, I wonder if GMs would reach this position as white, and it's drawish (real GMs would try to get to positions that engines play badly, I don't think that we're in one.) I'd vote that we're playing engine too, if asked. 8. b3 is a move that Rybka 3 fi...

Yes, though I cheated by cutting the cap and the can from photos, since they're not for company logos.

From the ones that have voted in the past:

Have not voted yet either (some probably aren't following the game at this time).

Congrats Dark Horse! I couldn't sit there to play a long correspondence game unassisted, I even have problems in 30min/game time controls in where I'm moving too fast because I don't know what to do with the extra time.

What could you say about Rybka 3's playing style that is very different than Rybka 2.2's style?
