Those that recall earlier messages I posted regarding "Transwarp," a
version of Rybka that is running over at ICC may remember the talk of an
approach to drawing by locking up the position. Nakamura was a leading
exponent of this approach. It appears that the technique has been
refined to the point that a number of GMs are victimizing poor Rybka.
Transwarp's current rating is 3398. This is way down from from 3932
where it was at one point. Meanwhile, Nakamura, AKA "Smallville," is now
at 3518. Another GM, "Goldmund," who also has victimized Rybka, is now
at 3523.
