Dear Chess Friends,

I started a new handicapped test: Rybka 3 + book vs Stockfish 5 + without book

And I created a new poll:
http://www.sedatc...age_id=734

So I wonder (with the current conditions),
Can we say Rybka is still King ?!

Conditions:
i7 980X 3.33 GHz / i7 970 3.20 GHz
Time control: 3 Minutes per game
MP testing (6 cores)
Ponder OFF
512 MB Hash
Tablebases OFF

More Details:
The current used book (for Rybka) is completely a new creation (based mainly on SCCT/Playchess games)
To be honest, I spent only a few hours for the optimization of the current used opening book lines
I preferred Blitz time control, due to we will have possibility to see more played games
And more games that means more accurate standings... !
Note also that the difference between blitz and slow time control is approx. 50 Elo
With neutral short books, the Elo difference between Rybka 3 vs Stockfish 5 is approx. 200 Elo
And very soon I plan to publish the first played results of this exiting duel...

Thanks in advance for your voting !

Best,
Sedat
