Rybka solves the King Gambit?

If you know Bobby Fischer's famous article "A Bust to the King's Gambit" (PDF), you might be interested in this ChessBase article.

Alpha nerds discussed the matter in some detail on Slashdot, which is particularly interesting in light of this followup article (which certainly changed my attitude!)  Of course, I currently play 1...e5, so I would have an inherent bias.....

computer cheating (in quite another sense)

Via ChessVibes: The International Computer Games Association claims that Vasik Rajlich lifted the code of Crafty and Fruit.

The claim is not a new one (it's been discussed on rybkaforum.net for some time), but ICGA bans Rajlich for life and strips Rybka of the 2007-2010 titles. (I hope Rybka takes the news well.)

Let Rybka think for you
