I just run a few test games with the latest Ivanhoe against Rybka using Frank Quisinsky settings from CCC.
He brags about how strong these Rybka settings are, so I decided to try it myself just to see what the fuss is all about against IvanHoe T49f from Hamhead..
I must say I am not impressed with IvanHoe T49f Hamhead performance.. The engine is playing ridicilous and losing almost every game. Whoever make this engine need to have his brain checked couple of times, not just once:-).
I could hardly believe that couple of settings changed in Rybka parameters can make it this strong, but so far it has been confirmed.
If anyone here is interested try these Rybka settings and tell me if you also find it as strong as i did.
Here are the Rybka settings:
TC Normal Move Time=100
TC Max Move Time=150
White Pawn cp=3
Black Pawn cp=2
White Knight cp=10
Black Knight cp=8
White King Bishop cp=10
Black King Bishop cp=8
White Queen Bishop cp=10
Black Queen Bishop cp=8
White Rook cp=17
Black Rook cp=13
White Queen cp=39
Black Queen cp=33
