Thx Graham. Keep up the good work smile

I can see Rybka has done relatively bad in this tournament. I suspect it has to do with the 1cpu setting. Not sure, though.

Next time in the next tour, please try the SUPER setting for Rybka 4.1 And with for example 4cpus it will be Deep Super Rybka 4.1 !! I dont think Vas will complain, especially now that Rybka 5 is around the corner...

Yes yes... I know. The ethics of CCRL...

Anyway; Thanks again wink

Graham.[/quote]

Just the same as has been discussed on this site earlier. Set the value of:
"White Pawn Millipawn" and "Black Pawn Millipawns" from 0 til 10.

And then set the value of:
"White Knight Millipawns" and also "Black Knight Millipawns" from 0 to 25.

Thats it. Yeah, I know; hard to believe, right?

I have some experience from my correnspondance games. And with these settings and running on 4 cores, Rybkas performace is overall better against both Houdini and especially Stockfish. So much so, that I don`t use the original settings anymore.

For a typical engine match I use to give time management: 40 min + 30 sec increment for the hole game (from a given middlegame position). So it would be interesting to see if Rybka perform better with other managements also.
