Thanks for the report Fernando! The elders may now  forgive you for playing
*again* with a PC program. I know you have bodyguards around the house but these
elders are dangerous, I feared they might already be sent on their way asking
you to pay heavy fines to WBF (World Blincoe Fund) to go to robot repairs.. Can
you tell us maybe if you know Rybka is to be a commercial engine? If so, is it
UCI, does it have some UCI options? No matter how strong, that is an attractive
feature for a program at least to me.
