Everything about the hotel was great except the entire hotel was non smoking which what I was looking for. However, our room smelled of cigarette smoke and the hall ways did as well. I would stay here again. I hope they change the smell of things!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Booked through hotels.com and was very upset when we arrived at hotel only to fid out hotels.com sent the wrong info to the hotel. With a little complaining, the hotel finally made it right. Make sure you print out what type of room you paid for and taking it with you.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My husband and I stayed here two nights while passing through to go to Tennessee. It was very nice and the staff was very helpful and friendly.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ok Stay"
Not much in the area of the hotel for dining. Small pool area. Good breakfast selection. Ok to stay for a night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great friendly Service"
When I arrived to check in I was told there was no elevator and my Room was on 2nd floor. I am 86 and had recent spinal surgery. The Lady at the Desk was very apologetic and found me a room on first floor which turned out to face a beautiful Creek. I had a most pleasant stay and will definitely stay here every time I am in Maggie Valley.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome Stay"
The room was great and at night the creek was a wonderful soothing sound. The lady at the front desk was VERY nice! The pool was amazing and we had a great stay at Ramada!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Different but nice with balcony on the cascading creek. Very quiet and relaxing. Staff very helpful.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel.com problem"
The hotel was great. When I checked in, they wanted for a room. Hotels.com was lower. They said to reserve it online. I did, but Hotels.com reserved a handicap room. All of the furniture and bathroom are not set up the same. I didn't want that, so I had to pay an additional $$, which was what they offered in the first place. Not the first time this […] happened. This is one of the problems with reserving online. No one to discuss changes with. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice view of the creek."
Nice stay. Good view of the creek. Clean and comfortable. We would stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"My trip to Maggie Valley"
Very nice area and facility for price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean and quiet if you choose the creek side."
First impression, underwhelmed. But we choose a creek side room and it was clean, roomy and with private balcony overlooking the rushing water. The major problem could be that there is no elevator to the second floor and anyone with problems doing steps would have an issue with that.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Quick Stopover"
Quick Stopover to spend some time in Cherokee...minus casino-area hotel prices. Motel close to lots of hidden gems and close enough drive to casino. Very small, quaint room. A bit outdated. Room needs Fabreze. Bedding needs to be replaced. Nice porch to enjoy mountain view. Lola left an envelope on the pillow for us to leave a tip...really!?!?Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel is old and out dated."
It was a clean place to sleep.The Hotel is old, with narrow halls dimly lite. Walls were clean but paint colors too dark. They did have nice equipment in the exercise room. I did not go into the pool area, so cannot comment on it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel"
Nice hotel, this was a motorcycle trip and they were accustomed to handling motorcycle travelers. Free breakfast was ok, they served scrambled eggs only on the weekend, should have been every dayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent Hotel"
I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was nice and clean. The staff was friendly. My only complaint was that the housekeeping staff did not change the bedding on the 2nd day of our stay nor provided fresh clean towels on that same day. We had to contact the front desk to remind them to do so. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this hotel to […] others. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ok at best."
We were on the second floor and had to struggle with luggage up and down steps. No elevator. We were also told creekside and we had a view of the parking lot with plastic chairs. Lighting was falling apart. Desk chair would not slide under the desk/dresser combo and obstructed the view of the tv.Genuine Expedia guest review
Was just there for the night, hotel was older but fine and desk clerk was quite nice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great for the value and very close to the mountain"
The staff is truly wonderful. The room more than served its purpose.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Error in booking!"
I paid for a creek view and when I got there she gave us a street view. She kept saying where I booked it online sent the wrong thing in that it was their fault. She just so happened to have one room left with a creek view and we were able to go in there. Thank Goodness!! We would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
A pretty basic hotel but perfect for what we were looking for. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Good location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Staying in Maggie Valley was great, lots to see"
Our stay at Ramada Maggie Valley was so refreshing and peaceful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Room was clean, service was great, even with a very late check in.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"older hotel"
This hotel did not have an elevator which was disappointing because I had a lot of things to carry up and down the stairs. The cable only gave us one channel and the receptionist came up twice to fix the tv/remote so we could get additional channels. The toilet clogged up and we had to plunge it ourselves. The best thing about the hotel was the continental […] breakfast. I was looking forward to the creek being at the balcony but we were on the other side. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Didn't see river"
Got to room and no creek view and we wanted bath tub and ended up with handicap shower. Neighbors loud and after asking receptionist to tell them they only got louderGenuine Expedia guest review
The pool area was a disappointment. Very small and the jets in the hot tub did not work very well.Genuine Expedia guest review
"nice birthday get-away"
Great place for the money! Our room was very large, it was clean and the jacuzzi was so relaxing. The staff was friendly & helpful. Breakfast offered several choices! The room would be a lot nicer if a small table was in the room along with a exhaust fan/better lighting in the bathroom.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice and friendly"
We chose maggie valley because it was middle ground between the things we wanted to do. We were there in march so a lot of things were still closed for the winter. The rooms were clean. The staff was excellent. And the breakfast was pretty great. Our overall trip was great. We would definitely return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good place to stay in Maggie Valley"
This was a nice little place. It was a great value, clean and friendly, comfortable bedding, nice breakfast. The pool and spa area are nothing to get excited about. I was in town for Cataloochie and not swimming so this was ok with me. Only a half mile from the base of the mountain.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ski Trip Maggie Valley"
Very nice stay. Pool and hot tube small. Everything else very nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Cherokee and Ski Resort"
The rooms were musty like they were smoked in but it is suppose to be a "non-smoking" hotel and if you didn't get back to your room before the hotel started filling up with other guest there wont be any hot water available to shower in !! We went and spent some time at the nearby ski resort and was planning to take a hot shower but there was only cold […] water available so we had to take a ice cold shower and warm up in front of the old heating unit that was mounted on the wall :( Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

I come to Maggie valley once a year to ski for firefighters weekend. Staying at Ramada is very relaxing and very clean. I had no problems at all!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Check in"
Old lady at front desk was very rude. No respect for customer. Argued with me.Genuine Expedia guest review
"It was alright."
The hotel overall was alright. There were a few things that made me rate this hotel lower. First when I checked in the hotel did not have the room type available that I had reserved on Hotels.com, there was a mistake made either on the Hotels.com side or at the Hotel itself. Hotels.com did make it up though. The other issue was the towels in the bathroom, […] one was very stained and had holes in it and several of the lights in the room were unplugged when we arrived. But overall this hotel was alright, I would give it a 3 out of 5. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Did not like the Eggs for Breakfast . Everything else was good. Don't get a room buy the stairway, it's very noisy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel and close enough to Tube World"
This is the second time we have stayed here. Room looked to have been updated. The only negative was the hard bed. Wife and I didn't enjoy the firmness, but the kids loved it. The indoor pool was nice. I wish it was a salt water pool so there wasn't as much of a chlorine smell as there was.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good basic hotel"
We stayed one night in order to be close to the local ski resort the next morning. All our basic needs were met. The room was clean, staff was pleasant, and the breakfast was fine. I would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great stay"
very clean, nice room. great stayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location and experience"
This is definitely a 2-3 star hotel, but for the money we spent, it was perfect. Our room had a balcony overlooking a rolling creek which was beautiful. Our non-smoking room smelled a bit like smoke, but we just opened the door to let it air our for a bit. The front desk staff was friendly and very helpful. The continental breakfast was outstanding […] with a variety of hot and cold foods to choose from. The location was perfect- within walking distance to tube world (a hill of snow to tube down) and just four miles from skiing. I would recommend this hotel! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"blanket was terrible"
when we turned back the bed the blanket was horrible, it looked like it had sheetrock dust stuck to it and it was sticky feeling like it had been dried to long in the dryer that had gotten to hot and melted it. I took it off the bed and took it to the front desk and the gave me another. I know when construction is going on that it is hard to keep everything […] spotless but the girl who put that blanket on the bed knew better. Also the 3rd night we were there the TV lost sound, the lady in charge for the night had no idea how to fix, after bringing 3 different remotes to our room and pushing button after button, she left and called someone who advised we had to unplug cable box wait a few minutes and plug back in. It did fix the problem, but whoever working should have known right away how to fix the problem Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Science & TechnologyNASA finds signs of 'flowing water on Mars' Scientists say water is flowing on Mars during its warmest months. 04 Aug 2011 23:16 GMT | Science & Technology, Environment NASA scientists believe that if flowing, liquid water exists on Mars, it would be highly salty [Reuters] NASA has said that its scientists had discovered fresh evidence that water is flowing on Mars during its warmest months, raising the likelihood that life could exist on the red planet.Recently analyzed images from the NASA Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has circled the planet, show dark finger-like features that extend down some Martian slopes during late spring through summer, and fade in the winter. "This is the best evidence we have to date of a liquid water occurring today on Mars," said Philip Christensen, geophysicist at Arizona State University, in a NASA panel announcing the findings on Thursday. NASA scientists believe that if flowing, liquid water exists on Mars, it would be highly salty. That would explain why it would not freeze in the planet's cold temperatures. "It is more like a syrup, maybe, in how it flows," said Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona, principal investigator for the NASA orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. The briny, flowing Martian water [if it exists] could be "rather different than pure water," said McEwen, lead author of a report on evidence of water flows on Mars published in the Thursday edition of the journal Science. Lisa Pratt, a bio-geochemist at Indiana University who was on the NASA panel discussing the results, said the findings were significant. "It is our first chance to see an environment on Mars that might allow for the expression of an active biological process, if there is present-day life on Mars," she said. NASA first found evidence of water on Mars more than a decade ago, but earlier indications were that it would be mostly frozen and concentrated at the poles.Source: Agencies

Spotlight: Co-operative Bank's 3-year Fixed Rate Bond
Saturday 28 November 2009
Fixed rate bonds continue to offer the most attractive rates for savers looking for good returns. The debate goes on, however, as to how long it will be before base rate starts to creep up, so many savers are confused about how long they should be locking their money away for.
The highest rates are available to those who want to save over a long period, but this week has seen the shorter-term bonds market heat up with a new launch from both The Co-operative Bank and Britannia.
Their new bond pays a five-year fixed rate of 5 per cent. Unlike the majority of fixed rate bonds, this one allows closure within a 30-day window before anniversary at the end of each year.
Of course, you will be hit with a 2 per cent penalty if you choose to close the bond ahead of it maturing.
However, it will be a popular choice among those worried about fixing for a longer period in a low base rate environment – if base rate does rise within the next few years then savings rates will no doubt follow.

Rybka is a computer chess engine designed by International Master Vasik Rajlich. As of February 2011[update], Rybka is one of the top-rated engines on chess engine rating lists[2][3][4][5][6] and has won many computer chess tournaments.
Although Rybka won four consecutive World Computer Chess Championships from 2007 to 2010, it was stripped of these titles after the International Computer Games Association concluded in June 2011 that Rybka plagiarized code from both the Crafty and the Fruit chess engines.[7] The ICGA proceedings against Rybka were subsequently upheld by the FIDE Ethics Commission, saying "the ICGA has not violated the FIDE Code of Ethics, nor any other FIDE rule or general principle of law". However, the same FIDE Ethics Commission ruled that banning Rajlich for life failed to have a clear statutory basis and sufficient procedural guarantees, and so they sanctioned ICGA with a warning.[8]
The word rybka, pronounced [ˈrɪpka], means little fish in Czech, Polish, and in many other Slavic languages. Vasik Rajlich was once asked in an interview by Alexander Schmidt, "Did you choose the name Rybka because your program always slipped out of your hands like a little fish?" He replied, "As for the name Rybka – I am sorry but this will remain my private secret."[9]
Rybka is a closed-source program, but still some details have been revealed: Rybka uses a bitboard representation,[10] and is an alpha-beta searcher with a relatively large aspiration window.[11] It uses very aggressive pruning, leading to imbalanced search trees.[12] The details of the evaluation function are unknown, but since version 2.3.1 it has included work by GM Larry Kaufman on material imbalances, much of which was worked out in a series of papers in the 1990s.[13]
Several members of the Rybka team are strong chess players: Vasik Rajlich, the main author of Rybka is an International Master (IM). GM Larry Kaufman is the 2008 Senior Chess World Champion, and from version 2.3 through version 3 was in primary charge of the evaluation function. Iweta Rajlich, Vasik Rajlich's wife and the main Rybka tester is a Women's GM (WGM) and IM. Jeroen Noomen (who used to work on Rebel) and Dagh Nielsen were the authors of its opening book – the latter is one of the world's top freestyle chess players. Both are now less active, and Jiri Dufek is in charge of the book.
This section requires expansion. (June 2008) |
Vasik Rajlich started working on his chess program at the beginning of 2003. The first Rybka beta was released on December 2, 2005.
Tournament Participations[edit]
In January 2004, Rybka participated in the 6th Programmers Computer Chess Tournament (CCT6) event, placing 53rd out of 54 competers, losing 5 games, drawing 3, and beating the last-place finisher who had 0 points (Tohno). [14]
In April 2004, Rybka participated in Chess War V conducted by Olivier Deville, finishing 23rd in the D Division.[15]
In April 2004, Rybka participated in the Swiss System Season 3 by Claude Dubois, scoring 6 wins, 6 losses and 6 draws in the Top 200 to finish 71st.[16]
Rybka participated in Chess War VI finishing 42nd in the D Division.[17] Rybka participated in Chess War VII finishing 48th in the C Division.[18] Rybka participated in AEGT round 3, scoring 89 wins, 28 losses and 15 draws.[19]
Note: it is now alleged that the above Rybka versions participated illegally by containing code from Crafty. See Crafty controversy below.
In December 2005, Rybka participated in the 15th International Paderborn Computer Chess Championship. Rybka won the tournament with a score of 5½ points out of 7, ahead of other engines such as Gandalf, Zappa, Spike, Shredder and Fruit.
On CCT8 in February 2006, Rybka won with a score of 8 out of 9, going undefeated. In the April 2006 PAL/CSS Freestyle main tournament, an unaided Rybka 1.1 took first place. In the final tournament, Rybka 1.1 finished in second and third place, behind Hydra. In the 6th Leiden ICT in May 2006, Rybka won with a score of 8½ out of 9, ahead of Sjeng, Gandalf and Shredder. At the 14th World Computer Chess Championship in Turin, Italy in May 2006, Rybka, playing under the name Rajlich, finished second, tied with Shredder, after Junior, the winning 2006 World champion. In the June 2006 PAL/CSS Freestyle main tournament, the Rybka team, playing under the handle Rajlich, tied for first place with Intagrand. In the final, the Rybka team took clear first place, a point ahead of the field. All 8 qualifiers for to the final were Rybka users. In the 2006 Dutch open computer chess championship, Rybka 2.2 finished in first place with a perfect score of 9 out of 9.[citation needed] In December 2006, Rybka participated in the 16th International Paderborn Computer Chess Championship. Rybka won the tournament with a score of 6½ points out of 7.[citation needed]
In February 2007, Rybka participated in the CCT9 and won with 6/7.[citation needed] In the 7th Leiden ICT in May 2007, Rybka won with a score of 7½ out of 9, ahead of Zappa and HIARCS.[citation needed] Rybka won the 15th World Computer Chess Championship in June 2007 with a score of 10 out of 11. The Rybka team, playing under the handle Rajlich, won the June 2007 PAL/CSS Freestyle final with a score of 6/9. Later that year it won again the Dutch open computer chess championship, scoring 8/9.[20]
In January 2008, Rybka tied for first place in CCT10 with 5.5/7.[citation needed] In October 2008, Rybka won the 16th World Computer Chess Championship, held in Beijing, China, scoring 8/9. A month later Rybka won the 27th Open Dutch Computer Chess Championship, held in Leiden, scoring a perfect 9/9.[21]
In March 2009, Rybka won CCT11 with 7.5/9[22] and the 17th World Computer Chess Championship, held in Pamplona, Spain, with a score of 8/9.[23]
In May 2010, Rybka won the International Computer Chess Tournament in Leiden with 8/9.[24]
Odds matches versus grandmasters[edit]
Whilst Rybka has won a match with GM Jaan Ehlvest which involved giving pawn odds to the human, GM Larry Kaufman of the Rybka team has pledged his own money to a human GM who can beat Rybka in a six-game match without material odds. GM Jaan Ehlvest was again chosen to play Rybka, getting twice the thinking time and white every match, with Rybka having only a three-move opening book, limited (512MB) hash size, and no endgame tablebases (the match being dubbed "Everything but a pawn"). The match ended 4.5–1.5 after three Rybka wins and three draws.[25]
In March 2007, Rybka played an eight-game match against GM Roman Dzindzichashvili with pawn and move odds, from March 3 to 8. The result was 4–4, after two Rybka wins, four draws and two losses.[26]
In September 2008, Rybka played an odds match against Vadim Milov, its strongest opponent yet in an odds match. Milov at the time had an Elo rating of 2705, ranking him 28th in the world. The result was a narrow victory to Milov: In two standard games (Milov played White, no odds), Milov lost the first game and drew the second one. Then they played two games at the classical "pawn and move" handicap (f7 removed). The first game ended in an early draw by perpetual check, while the second was won by Milov. Finally they played four games at odds of the exchange (Rybka removed a1 rook, Milov b8 knight); here Rybka drew three times and lost once. The final score was 4.5–3.5 for Milov.[27]
Zappa match[edit]
In September 2007, Zappa defeated Rybka in a match, 5½–4½. Two famous games were played in this match, the first was the 180-move fourth game,[28] which was approaching a draw under the 50-move rule. However, due to an incorrect evaluation by the Rybka engine, at move 109 it moved a pawn to avoid a draw (even though Zappa could, and did, immediately take the pawn), thus resetting the counter for that rule. The loss of the pawn eventually allowed Zappa to whittle away Rybka's defenses and win the game.[29] Then in game 9, Rybka was 3 pawns up with a totally won position, but played a horrific blunder on move 71, as it lacked sufficient knowledge to see a draw would ensue by opposite color bishops. Zappa had this knowledge, took advantage, and drew the game.[30]Anthony Cozzie thanked his operator Erdogan Gunes for having the wherewithal to stay until the end in these 2 games, rather than agree to a draw in game 4 or resign in game 9.
The match came about after Vasik Rajlich made a $100,000 publicity challenge to the FIDE champion Fritz or Junior, even offering odds of a game in a 24 game match (13 points).[31][32][33] But the final purse was only $10,000 over 10 games.
Version 3[edit]
Rybka 3 was released on August 6, 2008.[34] While previous versions of Rybka were released exclusively by Convekta, Rybka 3 was released by both Chessbase and Convekta.[35] Although still a UCI engine, Rybka 3 has extra features when run under the ChessBase and Convekta user interfaces.[34] In an interview with Frank Quisinsky, Vasik Rajlich revealed plans for a future GUI that would "properly display chess knowledge to the user" most likely in the form of graphical evaluation of the pieces on the board. The GUI, named Aquarium, has been released by ChessOK (formerly known as Convekta).[36]
Version 4[edit]
- Rybka 4 was released May 26, 2010. Vasik Rajlich has given the following information at the Rybka forum:[37]
- Rybka 4 is a normal UCI engine, without copy protection.
- There are separate single-processor and multi-processor versions.
- Full chess analysis packages which include Rybka 4 will be made by ChessBase (www.chessbase.com) and Convekta/ChessOK (www.chessok.com).
- Plain Rybka 4 UCI without GUI for download only is available from RybkaChess (www.rybkachess.com).
- All of these versions of Rybka 4 will be identical and can be used in any UCI-compliant GUI.
Vasik Rajlich has now released "Remote Rybka" which is a special version of Rybka (4+ or cluster) on very powerful hardware / clusters run by Lukas Cimiotti.[38] This can be rented for a specific period of time, though currently not less than 2 days due to overhead costs. Upon renting one has access to the Remote Rybka from one's PC, and all details of rentals are strictly private.
Information from the last video interview by Vasik Rajlich [39] indicated that Rybka 5 was scheduled to arrive anywhere between the end of 2011 and the first half of 2012. This did not occur.
Strelka controversy[edit]
In May 2007, a new chess engine called Strelka (Russian for "arrow") appeared on the scene, claimed to be written by Yuri Osipov. Soon, there were allegations that Strelka was a clone of Rybka 1.0 beta, in the sense that it was a reverse-engineered and slightly modified version of Rybka.[40] Several players found Strelka to yield identical analysis to Rybka in a variety of different situations, even having the same bugs and weaknesses in some cases. Osipov, however, stated repeatedly on discussion boards that Strelka was based on Fruit, not Rybka, and that any similarities was either because Rybka also was based on Fruit, or because he had tuned the evaluation function to be as close to Rybka as possible.[41][42]
With the release of Strelka 2.0 beta, source code was included. Rajlich stated that the source made it "obvious" that Strelka 2.0 beta was indeed a Rybka 1.0 beta clone, although not without some improvements in certain areas. On the basis of this, he claimed the source as his own and intended to re-release it under his own name,[43] although he later decided not to do so. He also made allegations that "Yuri Osipov" was a pen name.
According to Victor Zakharov (Convekta company) in his review for Arena chess website: "I consider that Yuri Osipov (Ivanovich) is real name. He didn't hide it. However I can't state this with 100% assurance." And he also has some contact with Yuri Osipov for development of mobile platforms chess program.[44]
However, Fruit author Fabien Letouzey has clearly expressed in the open letter mentioned above that Strelka 2.0 beta is a Fruit derivate with some minor changes.[45]
IPPOLIT controversy[edit]
IPPOLIT, RobboLito, Igorrit, IvanHoe, FireBird and Fire are a series of strong open source chess programs, originally developed by a team of anonymous programmers who call themselves the Decembrists, after the Decembrist revolt.[46][47]
The chess engine IPPOLIT was released in May 2009 with its source code, but due to the policy of some chess forums not to publish material of "questionable legal status" (e.g. the Talkchess charter [48]) it remained relatively unknown until October 2009. Vasik Rajlich has stated[49] that IPPOLIT is a decompiled version of Rybka, and that the people involved kept him informed of their progress via email.[50] Currently there is only circumstantial evidence for this claim. No legal charges have been filed against any of the engines in the IPPOLIT series.[citation needed] Circumstantial evidence for the claim by Vasik Rajlich is provided by the fact that the source of IPPOLIT[51] resembles the output of a decompiler and furthermore the playing style of IPPOLIT and its derivatives is close to that of Rybka 3.[52] Finally some people have expressed doubts that a super strong chess engine like IPPOLIT could simply appear out of nowhere.[53]
Crafty chess engine controversy[edit]
Early private Rybka engines have been accused of being a clone of Crafty.[54] Vasik Rajlich has not responded to these allegations.
Fruit GPL chess engine controversy[edit]
Rybka has been accused of being based on Fruit, but Rajlich has denied this categorically,[55] saying that Rybka is 100% original at the source code level. Further allegations of violating the GPL have been brought forward by chess programmer Zach Wegner based on a new decompilation effort and a one year study of the Rybka 1.0 executable.[56] Rajlich has since declined to respond to these allegations.[57] The Fruit author Fabien Letouzey has since appeared from a 5-year absence in January 2011 and published an open letter[45] asking for more information regarding Rybka and GPL violations.
The ICGA President David Levy has addressed the situation at ChessVibes and invoked a programmers forum to decide the merits.[58] The options include revoking all tournament victories of Rybka by Statute 3.h.iv.[59] Fourteen well-known chess programmers have since written an open letter to David Levy, Jaap van den Herik and the ICGA board stating that there is now "overwhelming evidence" that Rybka 1.0 beta (the first strong Rybka version) was directly derived from Fruit.[60]
WCCC disqualification and banning[edit]
On June 28, 2011, the International Computer Games Association (ICGA) concluded their investigation and determined that Vasik Rajlich in programming Rybka had plagiarized two other chess software programs: Crafty and Fruit.[61] According to ICGA, Vasik Rajlich failed to comply with the ICGA rule that each computer chess program must be the original work of the entering developer and those "whose code is derived from or including game-playing code written by others must name all other authors, or the source of such code, in their submission details".[62] The ICGA regarded Vasik Rajlichs' alleged violation as the most serious offence that a chess programmer and ICGA member can commit with respect to his peers and to the ICGA.[63] The ICGA sanction for Vasik Rajlich and Rybka was the disqualification from the World Computer Chess Championship (WCCC) of 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.[64] Vasik Rajlich was also banned for life from competing in the WCCC or any other event organized by or sanctioned by the ICGA.[65] In addition, the ICGA demanded that Vasik Rajlich return to the ICGA the four replicas of the Shannon Trophy presented at the WCCC in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and to return to the ICGA all prize money awarded for Rybka's performances in those events.[66]
In an interview with fan Nelson Hernandez, Raijlich responded to the ICGA's allegations in a statement, and answered questions about the controversy and his opinions on it.[67]
In January 2012, ChessBase.com published an article by Dr. Søren Riis. Riis, a computer scientist at the Queen Mary University of London and a Rybka forum moderater, which was critical of the ICGA's decision, the investigation, the methods on which the investigation was based, and the panel members themselves. Riis argued that critical portions of the ICGA panel report that appeared to show line-by-line code duplication between Rybka and Fruit were misleading or falsified, and objected to the panel's composition, suggesting that it consisted almost exclusively of rival chess programmers who had a conflict of interest in seeing Rajlich banned from competition in order to interrupt his unbroken domination of competitive computer chess.[68] ICGA President David Levy and University of Sydney research fellow in mathematics Mark Watkins responded to Riis' publication with their own statements defending the ICGA panel and findings, respectively.[69][70]
In 2012, Vasik Rajlich filed a complaint[71] against these decisions to the FIDE Ethics Commission, as co-signed by Soren Riis, Ed Schrøder and Chris Whittington. In 2015, the FIDE Ethics Commission ruled that (1) it was competent on the matter, that (2) the ICGA has not violated the FIDE Code of Ethics, nor any other FIDE rule or general principle of law in carrying out proceedings against Rajilch, and (3) by imposing a lifetime ban as a sanction against Mr Rajlich, in absence of a clear statutory basis and without sufficient procedural guarantees the ICGA violated par. 2.2.10 of the FIDE Code of Ethics. In conclusion, a warning was assessed to the ICGA, and an invitation was given to modify their statutes in accordance with FIDE principles and rules.[72]
Rejection of the ICGA decision by the CSVN[edit]
The Computer Chess Association of the Netherlands (CSVN) has chosen "not to abide by their sanctions against Rybka", because the CSVN board "has the most serious doubts as to the rightfulness of ICGA's decision".
Those who were in favour of the sanctions were severely questioned by (e.g.) Miguel A. Ballicora, George Speight and Søren Riis. Their opposition did make an impression on us, because these people can rely upon a vast expertise in the field of chess programming, law and mathematical logic. When finally dutchman Ed Schrøder, former world computer chess champion, joined the aforementioned critics of ICGA, we no longer seemed to have a choice.[73]
Rybka later competed in the 2012 CSVN event (ICT) and won.[74]

Selena Gomez News Pop: Selena Gomez Gets the Party Started in New 'Birthday' Music Video
Party on, Selena. How did Selena Gomez celebrate her 21st birthday? She released a music video about her birthday, of course! The now-21-year-old songstress unveiled a brand spankin' new video for her track, "Birthday" just in time to coincide with her day of birth, July 22nd. The video features Selena hanging at a wild house party with some energetic folks having a grand old time, dancing, throwing confetti, and doing young people things like fist pumping. Girls night out! Selena Gomez and gal pal Lily Collins were spotted dancing the night away at Hollywood's swanky Roosevelt Hotel Saturday night. The girls made their second stop of the evening after joining a bevy of stars at Julianne Hough's twenties-themed birthday party earlier. Selena Gomez is known for her super cute retro glam looks, but like her BFF Taylor Swift, she knows how to vamp it up! The music video for "Slow Down", recently leaked, shows the singer's sultry, grown-up style as she conquers Paris.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Over the Knee Boots Pictures
Gwyneth Paltrow Dreams of Wine Coolers, and Logs Another Day on Her NYC Set
Gwyneth Paltrow reported to the Harlem set of Thanks For Sharing yesterday afternoon to shoot scenes inside a restaurant. Judging by her outfit, Gwyneth was ready for Fall. Gwyneth was decked out in a trench coat, jeans, and a pair of black over-the-knee boots. Just a few days ago, Gwyneth teamed up with her costar Mark Ruffalo to shoot scenes in Central Park that required a totally different sort of ensemble — there were pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo kissing while she was decked out in spandex workout clothes! The fresh air evidently put Gwyneth in the mood for a wine cooler. She tweeted from the outdoor set, "Shooting in sunny Central Park. Reminds me of my youth. Whatever happened to Bartles and Jaymes? Could rock one of those things." Gwyneth's back in the Big Apple after an extended stay in London with her pal Cameron Diaz. There may be more British bonding in the ladies' futures, if rumors that Cameron Diaz bought a London home are true.

Epoxy the wing....
Using the screws is a must also.. Check here for battery bay pictures: http://teamtracon.netfirms.com/aircr...s.php?album=24 All the best, Sam |
thank you. How do you access the battery? Best Alexander |
Another question: the hinges do not look inspiring confidence. Did you use them or did you get others?
I also just looked at the main landing gear. Aren't there any predrilled holes? I didn't expect drilling them myself. It looks not so easy to dirll everything and keep it straight. Thanks Best Alexander |
Thank you,
since Sam used the hinges I used them as well (lemperts comment came when the glue just cured ). I took a close look at it and since they use quite few of them I decided not to wait and glued the ailerond and the flaps with the stock hinges. Regarding the nose wheel: can anyone tell me the weight of the robart strut? I'm wondering to get one. But I also consider the cheaper solution of buying one that comes with a spring like this one from Graupner: Regarding the propeller I go for a Varioprop 13.9" three bladed prop with variable pitch. I already use them for smaller models and they are just great. Maybe I shorten the blades a little. Best Alexander |

Alexander - I've put a Radio Active 8swg sprung nose-leg in mine, very similar to the one in your picture. So far it's coped with our none-to-smooth field - the stock leg folded taxying out! As a bonus the 8swg unit fitted straight in the original mountings .
Mine is i/c powered, SC FS65A, an oldie, but once airborne it copes ok. AUW is 3 1/2kg with 700gm of lead on the engine bearers. As for the CMP hinges - I thought the material too brittle to trust so I replaced mine with Robart hinge points. |
I bought the Graupner nose leg but it does not fit too well since the spring is too far up. But I will let the spring direct to the front and put a piece of plywood between the mounts and the firewall for the clearence. Yesterday I mounted the wing to the fuselage. It doesn't fit very well so I had to sand one mm or so from the fuse (at the aft end oft the wing). Also a lot of holes had to be drilled in the wing parts for the aluminium connectors. I glued the wing. All in all there are several issues with this kit but regarding the price this is OK. Nothing a model builder can't deal with. |

I forgot to mention that - the Radio Active one was too long initially, but I put a dog-leg into the length below the spring emulating a trailing link setup.
Sorry, I don't have a photo, but it involved putting something like a 110 degree backwards bend in the leg about 1 1/4 " up from the axle, then bending the leg forward from just below the sping coils to put the axle back on the vertical line of the mounting. This probably adds quite a bit o the springing, come to think of it Bob |
Thank you Bob. Would you be so kind to take a picture if possible? I'm afraid I didn't really got what you meant.

Here you go Alexander - it's more like a 90 degree bend, whatever it takes to get the job done
Thanks Bob! Now I see.
Another question: what kind of glue did you use for the windows. The manual suggests "silicone". I don't know what kind of silicone since I didn't use it so far. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! Best Alexander |

Enermax Triathlor FC 650-Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Review - Inside the Box
Inside the Box
Opening the box presents us with how the Triathlor FC is packed. The bubble wrap isn't much, but it proved to do its job and made sure our unit arrived safely.
As always, the top gives us our first glimpse at the unit and a good view of the color. The unit is finished in a semi-gloss black and the I/O specification label resides on top of the unit.
Each side features the same Triathlor FC logo with the other side being inverted.
The front of the power supply is labeled fantastically. Even if you lose the manual and have no internet access, you'll always be able to tell which rails power what.
The back has the standard honeycomb mesh exhaust grill with AC input and on/off rocker switch. There is quite a bit of space here that could be utilized for better venting that isn't stamped out.
The bottom houses the 120mm fan which cools the Triathlor FC 650W power supply. As you can see, the blades are not your standard blades.
The modular cables that are included are all of the flat ribbon type.
Included with the package are the mounting screws, reusable Velcro cable ties and the AC power cord.
Also present is the user manual and product catalog.

text: M.M.C. vs Paranoiac - Empire (Demo) by Paranoiacs ! published on 2013/03/29 22:19:27 +0000 It is a great honor for me, to create a song with one of the musical producers who have been of great musical influence from my beginning .. (M.M.C. From Russia) (it is very crazy when i see a project with his name and mine too ) is a VS, and not a parallel project,.. so... the first 4 minutes have been of M.M.C's pure composition and 6 or 7 final minutes I have completed them, very Happy !! (And when you listen it, you will see.. my emotion is obvious ..:)) I hope U enjoy so much like me this project, and we hope to be able to release it Soon ! ..! Thank you Alex!
