I would like to see a rybka vs rybka game at its full potential.Anyone ever make it play itself?
You can watch lots of those games if you log onto the Playchess server or download any of the compilations of those games.
It is the most aweful chess to watch. The faster computer usually wings by outsearching the other. It isn't exciting at all.
> The faster computer usually wings by outsearching the other.
But how big is the strength advantage of faster Computer?
If the two equal engines play 50:50 on equal hardware, what might be the result, if one Machine ist 20% faster, 50% faster ore twice as fast?
In avarage the faster Computer will get more than 50% of the points, OK.
But would he win so clearly?
If we make a Match with 8 games, what would be the likelyhood for a win of the slower machine or the likelyhood for a final score 4:4?
I believe, the chances of such a win are not bad, if the faster machine is only 20% faster.
And even against a twice as fast machine there might be more than an underdog-chance for the niggling machine.
In practice "The faster computer usually wings by outsearching the other" seems to me to be a very 'lion-hearted' statement.

One thing I wanted to ask (I never play online, neither do I intend to), is this how most of the top books are being formed?
I think the best I can suggest here, instead of eliciting the dozens of responses that this would bring up from average book-makers, with the top book-makers staying silent, is to search through posts on the topic. Some are done manually my adding lines move by move, some are done by adding good games to an opening tree, and some are done by adding lots of regular games to an opening tree; most GUIs have options for all of this.
I have a 32 bit machine here and no dual processor If i bought rybka 3 for 32 bit and tried to get a consistent performance that would be even with someone running it on the same computer Team Rybka would bring to the world championship of chess computing is there a way with increasing the time I let my computer cook up a move to get it to perform to the same depth or not?
I'm asking because I might try this just to get a controlled result.
I have some weird intellectual interest that is driving me.Ill try playchess.com
I have a better idea I just really need to know if the depth is controllable or seeable whatever computer it's played on.Can I see what depth the computer reaches before I let it move or could I preset the depth?
and also what setting are recommended as in what depth does the computer at the world championship of chess reach in order to come up with 3024 rating.
You can also try laying it against itself at a long time control, say 1 hour per move.
I've done this once or twice with other engines, but it takes a bit of patience!
