Personally I think black is already lost here. Knight on the edge, two blocked bishops, one less pawn .... nothing really to work up an attack without causing suicide. I think it is to Rybka's credit that it managed to keep this position tenable for so long and I would think that had the queens stayed this would have been easily drawn. You will never have an engine that will win every single game it plays there will always be a loss here and there. Best is to look at the opening change the line and move on. Remember this position was somehow forced on Rybka by an opening choice chosen by a human. Also even the mediocre engines are strong enough to still win games from the top engines. If you do many engine matches you will see that even low rated engines do get good hits every once in a while. On December 28, 2005 at 03:12:23, Vasik Rajlich wrote: >Interesting game.
