Feb-26-06   mj29479: This guy is author of Rybka (Computer) the result percentage definitely favours his opponents unlike his chess engine :)) although i must say they share almost identical chess knowledge :)))
Mar-07-06   EmperorAtahualpa: IM Vasik G Rajlich is married to WGM Iweta Radziewicz.

  chessmoron: In an interview for Arena, he wants to meet Brad Pitt and Veronica Varekova
Jun-11-06   cotdt: Rajlich could beat Rybka, just that Rybka plays much more consistently and calculates better.
Jun-11-06   Dionyseus: <Chessmoron> Actually the interviewer joked aroud saying Vasik will soon become famous and that he would be able to meet Brad Pitt and Veronica Varekova. Vasik said that he doesn't know why he would want to meet Brad.

Here's the interview:

Nov-05-06   fgh: I knew it! The first time I saw this guy's face I felt there was something Czech about it. But good to know, the strongest avaible chess program was made by an Czech!
Jan-30-07   cpoc: <fgh> <guy's face I felt there was something Czech about it> Name Rybka is also suspicious to Czech ear :)

Sep-24-07   mrbasso: He won his title by participating in numerous Kecskemet and First Saturday events. I doubt he ever had International Master strength.
