Yes, i've seen rybka get stuck in endgames that seem like they should be
winning...I just can't believe it is 30 points better than fritz 9 and fruit and
plays engame relatively weakly.

So, as a metric, 20 elo points usually means %5 better (given same oponents)

Instrestingly, Fritz 9, despite all its knowledge, often fails to see when an
opposite coloured bishop endgame is a draw (when there is imbalance of
material). amazing..after nine versions, f9 will still head to an opposite
bishop ending, thinkign this is the way to win
