Hi All,

I hear from a very reliable source that Rybka will play Zappa in Mexico. This replaces the planned, $100,000, Rybka v Junior match.

Details of the cancelled match http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt/2007/08/rybkajunior_crashes.htm

There is a $10,000 prize - winner takes all. If the match is drawn then $5000 each.

This will be the 18th - 28th September. 10 games at 60+20. Both sides will use 8 core machines.

More details soon,

Harvey

Well I would rather see a Hiarcs vs Rybka match as Zappa is no longer being developed (Or is he working on this project again Question ). However if it happens, be sure I will tune in just the same. Cool

Wow this sounds like a very interesting match.

Will Harvey maybe deliver all of us an exclusive report of the things that happened while the match? I am sure Phil would sponsor him a smelly flight to Mexico Laughing


Jokingly Regards,
Sebastian

Hello All,

The latest update I have:

Anthony is working on a new Fish Killing weapon - watch this space for details.

I can also report that Erdo and Zappa are currently at a secret training camp at high altitude. They are locked away assisted by team Hiarcs and an 8 way machine. They are making fiendish plans to sink the Fish.

Breaking News first here on the Hiarcs forum Smile

Are they creating an Anti-Rybka engine? (One that is generally worse than the default against most engines but specially tuned to beat Rybka) Or a general purpose engine that is just stronger than Rybka?

Hi,

I spoke to a Deep Source inside team zappa about your question.

The answer I received was this:

U can Answer him When u Beat Rybka Than u Beat All another Engines too


Day 2 at the secret training location is going well today we are Fishing in the mountains. I am pleased to report there will be Fish for Dinner.

Please post your favourite Fish Recipe's in this thread maybe something with a Mexican twist!?

More news soon,

Harvey

Please post your favourite Fish Recipe's in this thread maybe something with a Mexican twist!?


Here is one to get you started:

Mexican Fish(Rybka) Stew (Quick)
Recipe adapted from MarthaStewart.com
This basic recipe combines healthful fish with some classic Mexican ingredients including cilantro, cumin and chipotle chiles.

Serves: 4

I N G R E D I E N T S
1 (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
3/4 cup frozen corn kernels
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (or whole, toasted cumin seeds, ground)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus leaves for garnish
1 pound red new potatoes, scrubbed and sliced thin
1lb cod or other firm white fish
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped fine (you can use more or less chipotle to your taste) OR 1 tablespoon ancho paste
4 tablespoons Mexican Crema or Greek Yogurt (optional)


I N S T R U C T I O N S
Combine tomatoes, corn, cumin, chopped chipotles or ancho paste and the chopped cilantro in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

Use a 2-quart microwave-safe dish with a lid and combine the potatoes, shallots, and oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes in an even layer to promote even cooking.

Cover then microwave on high for 6 minutes.

Place the fish in a single layer around the edge of the dish atop the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato mixture in the center. Microwave on high until the fish is cooked through and potatoes are tender -- about 9 to 10 minutes.

Remove from microwave and mix carefully to combine but don't break up the fish. Garnish with cilantro and a dollop of Mexican Crema OR Greek Yogurt.

Oh! Now let's see ... There are just so many ways to cook a "Fish" Cool , Grilled, Baked, Deep Fried, Sauteed, Steamed, and maybe even Boiled. Laughing Rybka, that what for dinner huh. Well I don't care how you cook it so long as I can have a nice glass of wine with that please and a side dish of "CheckMate" of course. Wink

PS: Don't forget we can always have it Smoked! Most of all I like to have my "Fish" well prepared when it's about to be cooked. Or are we going to have it Microwaved, since we are using the Zappa!

Thank You!
