Dear gentlemen,

Here's a hearty "Thank you!" to those of you who offered to send me a copy of
Rybka. For some reason, I just couldn't find the Rybka download at Leo's site
from my computer at work, even through I refreshed my browser a dozen times.
But, when I got home last night, I found the Rybka download immediately.
Amazing!

Anyway, I have Rybka playing a long time-control tournament with Shredder 9,
Fruit, Junior 9, and the latest Toga II.

I gave Rybka the Hiarcs 9 book since I read here that it's largely a positional
program. Fruit is playing with a modified (improved by me) Fritz 7 book, and
Toga II plays with a Shredder 7 book that I modified to play all my lines and
opening theory preferences from my correspondence chess. I started the tourney
last night about 11pm, so I'm curious to see the standings so far when I return
home tonight.

All the best,
Steve
