Chessmaster Grandmaster vs Deep Rybka 0-1

Deep Rybka made Chessmaster Grandmaster look like an amateur every time I pitted them against each other.

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

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?

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

@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.

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