To quote you:

"The result of the CSS Online Masters, altough belittled by the many Rybka fans,
proves without a doubt that Rybka isnt flying high over the clouds while all
others must crawl deep in mole hills. Not at all."

The "proves without a doubt" part is certainly not true, since it was a 4-game
match. If you are an expert in statistics, then you know this. Even if Rybka is
shown to be 200 points better than anybody else, a 3-1 loss is nothing to be
shocked about, statistically speaking.
