Beware the "F" Connection

Post by geots »

Has anyone realized that Rybka was named such, because it means "little fish". Now fish starts with an f, as does Fruit. Sound a little suspicious. There is more evidence. Have you stopped to realize that Fruit came after Fritz. Do you really think it is just a coincidence that they both also start with the letter f . Wait... there is more. Surprise- Fritz came after Bobby Fischer. there is that damn f Do you suppose Fritz stole all his ideas from Fischer?!? All left to do now is figure out why there is no f in DrunkenMaster and i will have all the pieces to this puzzle.

Pressing forward regards,

I am willing to bet that Naum is a clone of Rybka. Look at the progress, it used to be a top ten free engine, now it is the third strongest commercial on 4 CPU. :lol: :lol:

It is ready after a few seconds here. "Loading" is displayed forever. Just click on "Start" after a few seconds.

Tony, i often wondered why a programmer would keep his program private for years, just letting a select few test it. This week has more than answered my question. Yuri has played this forum better than Eric Clapton ever thought of playing a guitar, pulling the strings like he was a puppeteer. Evgenii actually gave it away today that he knows it is not a clone, and i dont think he even realized it. 8-)
