Did you use
Rybka 64 bit or Rybka 32 bit?

Did you use the default personality or slightly positional personality that I
believe to be better based on the following lists.

http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/eloblitz.html
http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/ratingall.html

Note that in the second list slightly positional lost rating from beating Movei
3.5-1.5 but inspite of it slightly positional has the biggest rating in the 32
bit section(64 bit slightly positional was not tested there)
