hide details Oct 2 (4 days ago)

Dear Friend,

I hope this mail gets to you in the best frame of mind. I am sorry if I am
intruding into your privacy by contacting you since we do not know each
other physically. The fact is that I have been directed by the spirit of
humanity to you hoping you will be fair enough to respond to this task
that I shall be putting forward to you.

As you rightly know, our today's world is govern by greed, wickedness,
hostility and hatred. People no longer feel safe dealing with close
friends,relatives, neighbours and loved ones and trust are often betrayed
by people you least expected.

I am sorry for not introducing myself to you before now. I am Saddiq
Al-Tayyib from Riyahd, Saudi Arabia. I do not fancy racial discrimination
and am not a religious fanatist sso if you are one of those that thinks
his or her religion or race is superior to that of other persons, please
do me the favour of not replying this mail.

I have spent 57 good years in this world and have witness the beautiful
and ugly sides of life. I have learnt not to view life from one
perspective because life itself is very unpredicatble.

My reason for contacting you is to combine our ideas and dedication to
touch the lives of the less-privilege in some part of the world so that a
good name and legacy would be left after our time on earth.

I am actually in the hospital sending this mail to you as I have
experienced one trauma after the other. Medical experts have informed me I
might never live to survive this ailment that has plagued the last few
years of my life. This is because this deadly ailment has affected my
vital organs. Somehow, I now feel safer dealing with strangers than people
I know due to constant betrayals I have received from loved ones.

Nowadays, only few people think about assisting orphanage homes and other
charity organisations around the world due to self-centredness. The rich
are getting richer at the expense of the poor. Please respond to this mail
as soon as you finish reading to let me know your opinion about assisting
the less-privilege and if you have given it a thought to help them one way
or the other. I have a dream to share with you and I hope and pray I am
communicating with the right person.

Thanks for now as I await your soonest reponse with your Full Names,
Address, Phone/Fax Number and Country. Your response should be sent to
this address: al.saddiq011@yahoo.com.hk

Thanks for your anticipated response and do have a great day.
Regards
Saddiq Al-Tayyib

Long treatment ahead

 I'm still fighting a set back in my condition that started about in January, I have had many supporters including Family and Friends as well as people like Rybka's creator IM Vasik Rajlich (who I feel I'm letting down at the moment). 

 When I started logging TransWarp back online I had no idea what was about to hit me, massive weakness to the point I cannot work on TransWarp's settings, I need to read to find out how to set the "Don't accept draw" function as well as a variation of the old "contempt" function in Deep Rybka 3...  These two problems, until I get them fixed will have TransWarp "No Rated" by admins on ICC, this is to avoid skewing ratings by TransWarp accepting easy draws as early as move 8 I believe.

 One of my main supporter's on ICC, FREEBIRD, has been most helpful in understanding what happened to me and why I haven't been online when I answered his e-mail regarding my finding out how to keep Deep Rybka 4 under control in the TransWarp account, I'm sorry to Vas, in habit, I've been referring to TransWarp and not Deep Rybka 4, which has many new controls when it came out, I was so excited, it went right online with some recommendations for a "contempt" setting on the Rybka Forum by GM Larry Kaufman, sadly it didn't pan out and the problem started with the easy draws...which was a bit of deja vu for me with Rybka 2.3.2a, which could be blockaded easily, despite taking the lines out of the book. 

 I'm having good days and bad days, but it's my fault really that TW hasn't been back online to answer one person's question.  I haven't had the strength to try to research the problem and then try to put a solution into effect.  I feel TW has been a great part of the ICC community and I miss it greatly!!  I miss all of my regulars, people who supported TW, I feel I'm letting everyone down.  But it cannot be helped until a therapy they put into affect (which MIGHT be working, but it's so hard to tell when you are this weak), I've been pretty much bed ridden since January and now am looking seriously at the scooter commercials.  I can't use a wheelchair by myself because with polymyositis, one of the first muscles that get weak are in the shoulder area, like when I first got ill and though it was a work injury way back in '88, I had noticed I was washing my hair with one arm propped on the shower wall,,,it's back to this stage again, I've fell several times and had to crawl to my bed to get up.  So when the easiest thing for the regular person, causes extreme fatigue and pain, it's tough to concentrate on a problem as hard as this.  And then thinking of trying to put together a new opening book..scares the heck out of me.

  I apologize to those who look forward to seeing TW play, I know there are some GM's salivating at the thought of it coming back with the same problem to boost their ratings, but first tests (when they happen) will be unrated.  But this is good, it will give some of the high rated players a chance to play TW who couldn't before due to the put up at least a point policy...I feel that when there is nothing to risk, even 1 point, play is different.  Like when playing poker on fake money sites..people going all in with 7 2 offsuit....you get the picture.  As many pro chess players have went the poker route in downtime.

  My hands are going to sleep, I will TRY to work on this soon, but I've said that before, it's how long the therapy takes to regain strength, IF it works and I'm so scared it won't.  No one wants to be bedridden.  So not only physical, but mental aspects have to be broken to get to working on this, when it's a program...or your personal health, you take your health first..at least I put up a new post for the Chinese spammer who keeps trying to post comments on here despite the fact they are all previewed and I have a policy of English only now...as it's my language, not because of any personal bias..I actually like other languages, it's just when they take advantage of me commenting in Chinese about porn sites that I have to go with what I know.  Luckily there are translation programs online and saved me from leaving a comment on one of the posts that was totally not related to the site or it's content which is supposed to be family friendly.

 Again, Thanks for your support, those who pray, I sure wouldn't mind it!  It's proven to help, faith is a powerful thing...even to top chessplayers but in their play usually but a lot to personal faith with God.

 

Deep Rybka 4 & TransWarp back on ICC

Well not back, but with Deep Rybka 4 instead of 3 instead, but I have to learn some new settings.  I may just try soon in default mode and tweak as I go along.  Maybe today!

A good chuckle

 As most of you know, I'm not feeling to well..well, at least those who know me and actually read this darn thing.  I often need humor to help  my days go by when in these funks.  But since this one has lasted so long and worries of a relapse fly through my head, dreading the possible prednisone attack, maybe I can hire this little guy to protect me from the big bad meds...secretly shaped like kid's vitamins to keep me off guard!

Great Day for those who have waited for so long! It's here!

 Rybka 4 has been released! No Joke!  At least the download version has, it's available at www.chessok.com  (I like the Chess Assistant 9 I have)  I was very surprised to see that CA 11 is here as well and will be packaged with Rybka 4, If I was a guaranteed income that wasn't way below the poverty level, you can bet I would be bouncing off the walls waiting to get my version!  But the prices of such things has left me on the street looking in the window, I think the manager is getting ready to shoo me off because of the nose print, he doesn't look happy! ;)

 So computer chess fanatics click, click and click to the site, check the box and send your money...I know from Rybka 3 and my CA 9, it will be well worth it.  There also is the straight uci engine download available too, even that is a tad..lol a BIG tad, too expensive for this cat..but I've had fun, TransWarp will always be the computer that broke 4000 blitz elo on ICC (chessclub.com) and I will be proud of that always.  TW is up for renewal on the 4th, I'm in a quandry as to whether or not to renew the account.  I would be able to do so...but never be able to upgrade to Deep Rybka, the multi-processor version.  There also is a Chessbase version as well, I believe it comes with a Fritz package or Chessbase package..not really familiar with Chessbase as much.

 So gamers, enjoy Rybka 4!  Start your Engines!! You can get to the purchase link via the Rybka link at the right, have fun!

Rybka 4

Quick update, downloadable version of Rybka 4 will be available at ChessOK.Com on the 26th of May and DVD orders sent on the 28th, I think you can pre-order now! I do believe I have a chessok.com link here somewhere!!

Rybka 4 is on it's way!

  I know I'm late with this news, and very late in posting, but I have been ill lately, since January...numerous tests, bloodwork, an MRI, a CT scan and multiple x-rays..I should be glowing in the dark!

 But that's not the main news, the main news is that FINALLY! Rybka 4 is to be released for sale, i haven't seen a definite date, but I have seen some ads at chess program selling sites.  Wow, i wish I could afford the new monster, but TransWarp's ICC renewal is coming up as well.  I was late in trying to renew my human account and lost years of stats..all erased.  But while I DO have an excuse, the fact that the info was erased is a big loss to me.

  I could start over, try to reach my 1700 blitz rating once more, but that will never happen as I am way out of shape, can't move the pieces fast enough anymore...the young have taken over.  But that's life..out with  the old, in with  the new, like Rybka 4!!  It has been said to be late May, which is here..but i haven't checked the forum yet today to see if there's been a release date set and how much the basic mp uci multi-processor version costs...the thought scares me.  I have really only used Rybka as my chess engine, I never could afford to buy all these Deep Junior, Deep Fritz, Deep Sjeng and new names popping up as well...with all those engines and guis going for about $100.00 per shot, on a meager 760.00/mo income (after medicare D deduction) there wouldn't have been a chance in Hades that I could have gotten those and had matches between them...which I've always wanted to do...I would love to get the new Rybka 4 and do that vs Rybka 3 on my machine and see the outcome, the thought is exciting and bittersweet.

 I may be having a relapse of my polymyositis...I can barely stand for 10 minutes or so if that, I go in the kitchen to try and get my big cooler cup (you find in those quick stores) that's about 17 years old now, wow)...and fill it up with ice and a mixture of cold water from a jug in the fridge and one of the sports drinks to try and regain electrolytes and such I lost overnight with the night sweats or discomfort from the cpap machine's hose and nose piece filling up with condensation..roll over and get a nose full of water..yay..  But as I have put on more weight due to now also because of a hormone imbalance (The night sweats may have been a clue that got overlooked) so now I get monthly shots as well..male menopause, who heard of that? sheesh...as well as the possibility of the polymyositis going into some involuntary muscles has made the last 5-6 months a time i couldn't even think of TransWarp..I had just renewed it's account as well...but lack of play led to boredom which took me to Facebook and it's plethora of games..so I'm guilty of being an attempted mob boss and farmer...go figure.

 The release of Rybka 4 has stimulated the chess fever once more...but I may have to be on the sidelines...this darn hobby has gotten very expensive...I don't get any money from the banner ads..some Chinese spammer has gotten his jollies posting Chinese pr0n sites in the comments, I missed the first one, luckily google has Chinese (simplified)/English translations..he tried with a harder version of Chinese, but it's English or nothing now.  But I would like to wish Vasik Rajlich & the Rybka Team (which has gotten huge) Good Luck with Rybka 4 and may they have nothing but great things from  her.

 As for TransWarp, I may try to renew the account...at least it was the first to break the 4000 elo "barrier" lol, on ICC in it's rating system. It had an Awesome run with GM Hikaru Nakamura, who I can't thank enough for playing TransWarp and in doing so, making the games something ICC'ers looked forward to watching and their hopes got high every time the two were logged on at the same time and Smallville was in a blitz playing mood vs a computer.

 Of course, I would like to thank all the other players who took time out of their day to play TW...it was so much fun for me when I got the chance to watch them live.  However, as my days often like a farmer's, early to rise and early to bed, I missed so many of them.  But whatever happens, I look forward to seeing how Rybka 4 does out there and hopefully, I will manage to get it as well.  When I mentioned all those other versions of engines up above, I imagine there are some who are saying, "well, why didn't you just look for them online, wink"  I just don't believe in that, these guys work hard to make these engines and I believe deserve all the reward for that hard work!  People have a funny way of thinking sometimes, they would never think of going into say Best Buy and stealing a copy of one the commercial engines, but looking for it online, virus risks and all, won't stop them.  But there's always Karma..they may not get caught doing that...but it evens out int he end.  Anyway...I'm off my soapbox/"news conference" about where I went with TW..which of course was nowhere..TW just relaxed amongst the other programs chatting away I suppose..while I did the gangster bit, probably laughing at me..especially when I started farming and planted my first crop..some sort of berry, think blueberries..lol..But my farm is packed with animals and it's field surrounded by trees, barns, gnomes, you name it..but it kept me busy and not looking at a screen where no one was playing.  However, Armcomposer(GM) did play some unrated games recently, that was fun to watch. You can't help but root for the underdog.  Anyway, Rybka 4, when you make your debut, Welcome!!
