Yes.

Still 73 points away for the "standard" record.
Maybe i am a little presomptuous but this seems feasible.

But I agree that your "bullet" and "blitz" ones are out of reach with my modest hardware.

Ah! so Arasan isn't all that weak! I mean it's not a baby program where it gives absolutely no challenge to the tops. [It happens to be the only one which I was personally playing with in recent times, and I found it clever enough against me, so that's why It interests me to see how it does in general].

And congrats to Rybka and co. again!
I always like to see that there is ONE program who seems to know what it's doing vs all oncomers, because then I know that I can rely upon it. (The fact that I personally didn't purchase it yet has nothing to do with my opinions. It's only my difficult private life which is not giving me any peace or privacy to do what I really want, but I hope it will, and that I will get version 3 as soon as it comes out. I might as well now wait till then now [and......I trust fully that it will be made sure to become the strongest one yet, even if the first version of it might have bugs, as I have already seen that Vas and co. are reliable in doing that. There HAD been cases in chess program history [even comercial ones] where significantly stronger performance of upgrades had NOT been assured]).

[It also interests me to know if Rybka normally DOES beat Junior clearly, as well as any others that sometimes beat IT. And that Zappa atleast doesn't crush it when it DOES win]
