Eelco,

I played f5 and then allowed Rybka to play itself. White won. The game was won
by passed pawns. White ended up with two queens.

This position is a good positional test for all chess programs. There are
many things to consider but all programs should play for a won endgame. I am
sure that Vasik Rajlich will correct Rybka in a future edition to understand
these types of positions.

TJ
