I pitted my DroidFish (on HTC Desire HD) against Rybka 2.3.2 and DroidFish won. Should that be so?

cool experiment. now to make it better, you could play duplicate games with each engine on each color. I presume the settings were maxed out and they were played on similar processors?

Also, the game versus Rybka looked kinda drawish to my amateur eyes.

The first game was DroidFish 5 min. - Rybka 10 min. Now I set it to Rybka 6 hours and DroidFish 2 hours (max for DF). Rybka used almost all his time while DF still had about 25 min left. I couldn't be bothered playing it out to the end so I declared it a draw at this point.

Droidfish uses Stockfish engine. I believe Stockfish is among the top 3 engines. So you are essentially pitting the relatively current Stockfish engine vs the old version Rybka (although some may argue that in this case the Droidfish/Stockfish runs on a weaker hardware).
