dang, just moments too late.
I don't think you realize the signifants of this topic.
You can't play on playchess if you had install robolitto.
I hope chessbase/playchess will remove all the users who have rybka, to stay fair....

Reading a thread based on the World Computer Chess Championships is low but here am posting in it. Oh my.
Oh ok so this is more of a human site. Have you not read things about engines here before? Is this not a big deal?
Wow...
He made a lot of money off it though, I bought a copy of Rybka 3 a year or two ago : /
I was going to buy it but I decided to buy a toaster instead.

And allegedly consulting Kramnik, if you can believe it.
Quite simple, really, you go back and prevent them from participating.

It's the number one topic on the volley ball forums, as well!

How do you ban, and disqualify something from previous world computer chess championships???
It must be like when the NCAA strips a university of a title it earned in the past and from which it has already earned all the money possible, so it doesn't matter except for an asterisk in future lists of champions. It's one thing to claim and announce a banning, but getting any prize money returned will probably take a nasty court battle.

Wonder if this will now effect the sales of Rybka now, it is a great selling point to say your program is the world champion. oh well I will have to stick to my Fritz 8 for a bit longer now until I decided what program to get next.

I wonder that too. Would it hurt or help sales? "No such thing as bad publicity" and all that... kind of like the taboo "it beat everything and is so strong it's illegal!" type of advertising ;)
I mean, this doesn't ban them from continuing to develop it and coming out with a Rybka5 ya know ;) Will be interesting to see how the public reacts and what Vas' decision will be.

I think we need to hear Rybka's side of the story. In the famous court case "HAL 9000 v.s. Planet of the Apes", HAL 9000 pleaded insanity based on MKULTRA experiments done by the CIA to brainwash HAL into some type of "Manchurian Candidate"! Rybka's programmed to be one of god's children too, so we should be compassionate towards our fellow slave, and try to reform Rybka, instead of punishing him...
