You don't have enough time to run Rybka to a higher depth than the 2800+ do :)
thanks for the heads up costelus! A bigger problem is 90% of my chess is done on a Mac where I have no engines installed at all--I do not have any "Deep" apps as my PC is not powerfukl enough.
ok, if I cant join, I will look at the games..will be top games, for sure!
good luck everybody playing!
