I just ran a 5'+1sec match vs Shredder 9 UCI. Shredder had it's own opening book and RYBKA palyed without an opening book (32 bit version). Match was on my AMD 64x2-3800. Each engine was assigned a different cpu and pondering on. RYBKA won by a score of +30 =10 -10 (+147 Elo). That's an impressive score since it started out with only 0.5 points in the first 4 games. I haven't looked much at the games but the score is certainly impressive for an engine with no opening book and no tablebases. I wish for the tablebase support for the simple reason when the endgame is a draw both engines will play the 50 moves in a few seconds. Simply it saves time. Also the lack of an opening book cost precious seconds in the opening. It's like giving the opponent a time advantage which is fairly large in blitz games. Thanks to the programmer. A great gift to all! Jim
