3500 ELO BARRIER BROKEN!
More than 10 consecutive tournaments with top engines have proved decisively that Rick48 is currently
the Strongest Chess Engine in the World!
Only Stockfish_8 was a serious opponent (32-28/60). The rest of the field (Houdini, Komodo and Fire) were not a match at all.

The latest competition at WBEC-Ridderkerk (edition 19) has confirmed Rick48's
prowess at every phase of the chess game. The program defeated the current
World Champion - Rybka 4 and many others. 23/4 game matches (tempo 40/40)
gave the score +18-2=3. Before the main tournament there was a test 'blitz' with
tempo 40/3 and the final result: Stockfish-Rybka-Rick48. The three lost only
one game each and Rick48 outplayed Stockfish. I have to add here that the 'v4'
version gave a significant handicap to the opponents. Being 64-bit, multi-threaded
application it used only one CPU what on quad computers led to remarkable speed
advantage of 2CPU-engines. An additional factor - a poor debut library - completed
the picture.
