I thought Aquarium was exclusively developed for Rybka. Apparently my misconception. Anyway, what happens next relative to Houdini 2 and Aquarium merge is anyone's guess and reaction.

i doubt this will make it any better.

last time i saw a chess program from a famous company on my Wii,
the program castled first with the rook and moved the kind behind. thats of course illegal. it is 2 moves after another.

so ... i doubt this hardware will create better programs.


i am very satisfied with the tablet-pc chess programs.

hiarcs is very strong on tablet pc's e.g.. - even against stockfish 2.1.1 using 2 cores against hiarcs with 1 core.

If you read the Aquarium developers' comments on Rybka Forum, it's evident Vas basically forced them to do this by having his release schedule be "once every 20 blue moons" :roll:

People can think That I'm crazy but I still believe that Houdini/houdart have direct connection with rybka/Vas

hmm..

I wander if Royal R.I.P Vas OFF Aquarium has considered Houdinis Analise bugs seeing as they make such BIG claims for there programs Anallise capabilities :roll:

Perhaps they dont read this forums posts :idea:

They and Astroboy should :lol:
