After version 1.03a this is the next version.
I think that Configurable Contempt is an important option. as you can see in IPON rating list, it has shown good Elo improvement.

Strongest chess engine at last!
I think that we won't need other testings, a least for sometime!
As you see in TCEC's Match 6, Rybka 4 proved that it (or she!) is the strongest chess engine in long games (real games) clearly.
Last result after 32 games is:
Nr Engine Pts SB
1 Rybka 4 64-bit 6CPU 17.5 253.7500
2 Ivanhoe B50tA 64-bit 6CPU 14.5 253.7500

Will Netflix Destroy the Internet?
According to Sandvine, a network management company that studies Internet traffic patterns, 10 percent of Canadian Internet users visited Netflix.com in the week after the service launched. And they weren't just visiting—they were signing up and watching a lot of movies. Netflix videos quickly came to dominate broadband lines across Canada, with Netflix subscribers' bandwidth usage doubling that of YouTube users.

Rybka 4 vs Houdini 1.03a - Longer games

Child process priority for Rybka 4: Normal

Blitz:1'+30"
1 Deep Rybka 4 w32 1½10½½ 3.5/6
2 Houdini 1.03a w32 2_CPU 0½01½½ 2.5/6
Next time, without tablebases:
1 Deep Rybka 4 w32 ½½1½½½ 3.5/6
2 Houdini 1.03a w32 2_CPU ½½0½½½ 2.5/6
10 games maybe not sufficient, but it seems to me that Rybka 4 is stronger in long time control.
In these games i see that Houdini 1.03a has a bad time management and don't use it's time. For example while Rybka has 38 seconds to think(in the middle of game), Houdini has more than 4 minutes! It is strange that such very strong engine hasn't good time management!
I should run some different tests.
However Rybka 4 is stronger in these games.
good luck

Hackers accidentally give Microsoft their code!
When the hacker's system crashes in Windows, as with all typical Windows crashes, Heckman said the user would be prompted to send the error details — including the malicious code — to Microsoft. The funny thing is that many say yes, according to Heckman

10 minutes blitz
After 26 games.

2 Houdini 1.03a w32 2_CPU +6/-7/=13 48.08% 12.5/26
Rybka is 13 Elo stronger.
It seems that Houdini 1.03a tuned for 5 minutes or less
and for longer games it is weaker. running 20 or 40
minutes games should be interesting decision.
Note: it is possible that 26 games is not sufficient.

Faster-than-light pulsar radio waves found
"You might have heard that faster-than-light travel is impossible. This is not entirely true -- there are a couple of catches which allow for F.T.L velocities. One such catch, as originally proposed by Mr. Einstein, is that something can travel faster than light if it does not contain information. This physical law has been observed on Earth in experiments, but with this pulsar (if confirmed), this is the first time this sort of thing has been observed off of our planet. What does or does not constitute information in this context however, is the subject of both rigorous study and debate."

Firebird 1.0 beta vs Rybka 3
Firebird 1.0 vs Rybka 3-2cores using book 1 min games:

2 Rybka 3 32-bit +15/-25/=51 44.51% 40.5/91
Contempt play is 0.
This show prominence of firebird, at least in fast time controls.
I think about better test methods. for example comparison of begining, middle and end of games. what you think? I want to research in this area!
