Subject: "Rybka does not care"

Hi.

The above is from one of Uri,s post;

"It seems that Rybka does not care if it mates in 1 mates in 2 or mates in more
moves"

---------------------------------------------------------  snip

And from a post by George;

"Because i still maintain after watching most of these games that Rybka has some
serious late middle game and end game
problems that must be attended to"

--------------------------------------------------- snip
-----------------------------

And from Sarah;

"There are many positions like this where sometimes Rybka even fails and settles
on a draw in a won position, also many where it seems it plays on and on and
eventually wins even with large material advantages such as this"

---------------------------------------------- snip

I have also observed this "behavior" in its play.
In at least one game, it lost a half point due to the 50 move rule after playing
back and front in a won position.
It is just like when you are playing with a kid, you don´t care if you loose or
win.

For me this behavior or bug is just funny and makes it even more interesting.
Anyway you don´t have to care if you are stronger than the rest.
