Only In Chess could a 4 time world champion cheat .........

Without the use of drugs.

Rybka stripped of all 4 titles as the programme is found to be a fraud....!

Very interesting....

Does this clear Sebastian Feller? As he was using a false engine :)!

I imagine there will be litigation, given Rybka is commercially sucessful.

For those with an interest in IT I recommend the evidence on Ben's link. Damning seems to be an understatement. I actually laughed out loud at:
Summary: Pre-Rybka 1.6.1 contains much identical code to Crafty, even including large
blocks of code with obsolete code inside them, and code that performs tests that make
no sense today (code that was left in Crafty by accident, by Robert Hyatt, also shows
up in Rybka 1.6.1). It is inconceivable that a second author could duplicate this code
purely by chance
Which suggests criminality of equivalent competence to drawing on a false beard with a felt tip. :)
