Unlike you, I made Rybka even stronger, giving her another king instead of the queen. IMHO two kings reign better than only one, particularly when there are no women to chime in. Also they can down some red wine on the way. But after 5 moves Rybka became aware of my playing strength, and resigned. Shame! Robert
