Oct-09-08  computer chess guy: Rybka is just merciless. After 19.♗c4 Black must give up the exchange. He (it?) can try to save the Rook with 19. .. ♖d6 but after 20. ♕f3! Black is still losing something: for example 20. .. ♗c8 21. ♗e5 ♖c6 22. ♕g3 ♕g5 23. b5! traps the Rook.
Jun-28-09  I Like Fish: hello fruit...
Jun-28-09  WhiteRook48: 88...Bf5+ LOL!
Jul-16-09  MarvinTsai: These two know everything about chess!
Jul-16-09  Whitehat1963: Amazing that white not only allows the g-pawn to queen, but never takes it.
Jul-16-09  Notagm: How about 21...Qxg2, preventing White from being able to castle? It seems to me Black would have had real compensation for the exchange.
Jul-16-09  visayanbraindoctor: Rybka says: I don't like fruits!
Jul-18-09  MarvinTsai: After 21...Qxg2 22.0-0-0 white's every major piece goes into fight, that could cover his queenside weakness.

  FSR: FWIW, 6.Nf5 is Rybka's improvement (maybe) on the famous game Larsen vs Spassky, 1970.

  offramp: < I Like Fish: hello fruit...> That sort-of makes sense.
Oct-21-13  thegoodanarchist: Crazy computer chess. The White Bishop on c3 was a stalwart defender, though.
Jul-17-14  e4 resigns: The endgame is rather interesting. When you plug in the position after move 70... (black to move) on the Nalimov endgame tablebase, it says that Black should play 70... g6 and loses in 23 moves as opposed to 21 with 70...Ba2. Every move the computers played after that followed the endgame tablebase.

70... g6
71. Rc7+ Kh6
72. f6 (the only move that wins) Ba2
73. Kf4 g5+
74. Ke5 Kg6
75. Rg7 Kh6
76. Kf5 Bb1+
77. Kg4 Bg6
78. Rg8 Bf7 (78... Kh7 79. Kxg4)
79. Rxg5 and so forth.

Dec-29-15  Flipboard Newsstand: Can the Fruit take a little Rybbing?
Nov-22-17  dumbgai: Today’s GOTD features Rybka defeating the engine from which it was derived, though the author would disagree with this description.
Nov-22-17  morfishine: I don't understand chess, much less computer chess

Nov-22-17  Straclonoor: Is it now interesting what played two whatever chess engines in 2008?? Chessplayers - yes, it's a part of chess history. But any games between two chess engines??? Everybody can done same match with 2008/2007/2006 etc. engines right now.
Nov-22-17  ossipossi: Well there was a bit of a computer in Larsen's brain...

  Check It Out: Understandable: you were young, dumb, and full of rum.
Nov-27-17  kevin86: something to ponder: what happens when FRUIT is happy?
