No need to get excited. It is probably just another Ippolit derivative.
If it is Rybka 4 I hope they all go to prison or fall under a bus! :evil:

Its the real version of Deep Rybka 4. I have the official download version and i did a comparison and its exact the same!

This is what i think:
DarkAvenger999 just put his own official download version or DVD (from Rybkachess) on the Internet.
Its a bit like deal out your money....


this is what DarkAvenger wrote:

How did I get it before most of you guys? Well simple, I simply can buy stuff before they can be released. I was planning to release this a few days
after the official release but I feel a lot of elo is saved in this version in order to give way to rental Rybka (believe me this a real money hog, with news
about GM topalov paying 100,000 euros for it), so I guess the developer doesn't care about this version but simply to tease customers and refresh Rybka's dormant status.

I think Vas has to be more careful with his collaborators, there are to many
leaks.

I do not.

I did not download Rybka4 for free but I also do not plan to buy it.
One of my reasons is that
I do not like to support rybka4 after Rybka supported topalov against anand.

Another reason is that I expected bigger elo improvement and 60 elo is not enough to justify buying a new version.
