My impressions are the following:

Rybka is extremely strong at short and long time controls.  I believe that it
can be made even stronger with better time management.  For example in many
instances in a 5 minute game, Rybka would still have 4 minutes while the other
engine would be trying to scramble with few seconds on its clock.  With better
time management I would think Rybka can play even stronger.  I also noticed that
Rybka while playing like an experienced GM in the opening stage and the middle
game, can play amazingly weak in the endgame.  I have seen many games that
should easily be won get lost or drawn due to this.  I realize this is a known
issue and once fixed Rybka will really be a monster.  Even with all it's
shortcomings it can at the moment make other engines look like patzers.
