It is blind to think that there are not other programs just as worthy of a match against Zappa next. For example Chess-64 plays at about the same level on 1cpu as Fruit 2.3 with ML settings and scales on my 8cpu Xeon 5365 just as well as Zappa does.
Hello Ryan,
are you involve as programmer in the Chess-64 chess engine project ?

(btw: I don't like the Chess-64 as engine name :) )
My involvement started at a very late stage after Chess-64 was already a fully functional SMP chess engine that plays about the same level as Fruit 2.2 on 1 cpu. I have brought gain to the Chess64 project but it should be clear that if Fabian had the time, desire, and a little communication with someone to can analyze the games played such as a book builder he would easily match and exceed the progress I have made. I think with us both having different skills we make a great team and the project is a lot of fun.

Anthony, Erdo, all Zappa Team. "Congratullations". :D :D
In the other way. "Congratullations to Vasik and all Rybka Team."
Rybka, the machine, that put the diference.

"Before and After Rybka" This is the new line, of chess machines develoment.

With best respect,

Yes congrats to Anthony and Erdo for their nice win. Zappa has exposed some glaring faults in Rybka and hopeful Vas will be able to patch up those holes and make Rybka stronger. It would be interesteing to see if CCRL and CEGT will test on 8 cores. I personally think that Rybka is about 50 ELO stronger even though the difference on 4 cores is much higher. Zappa seems to gain strength on big hardware much better than Rybka.
