Computers will be the end of chess. Natural human development would take hundreds of years that computers do in seconds.

Which is white & which is black?

I know Rybka creams Chessmaster each time but I've seen Chessmaster play better than that. That didn't do him justice.

@elquicko

You're absolutely spot on. Every time I watch this match, I wonder why Chessmaster is making such amateurish moves. I have a few other games of CM vs Rybka where CM played slightly better, but always got crushed ignominiously. Deep Rybka is just way too strong for CM.

Time controls?

@andthatsforthewin

As you can guess, I am replaying the match to make the video. In the real match, there were no time controls.

[andthatsforthewin]

@adiladil78 Well then how did you get the engines to make moves? If it's infinite time they take forever, literally.

@andthatsforthewin

You are right. They DO take forever. What happened was that I was typing a University project and to give myself a breather, I ran Rybka and Chessmaster together. This way, it was less boring. Also, they take most time in the middlegame, as the starting moves are usually from the book; by the end of the middlegame and start of the endgame, Rybka always had a stranglehold on chessmaster and it just dashed off moves in (relative) quick succession.
