You cannot say based on result like 21-19 that rybka is almost the same strength as fruit in endgames. The practical result if we consider only matches of 2 games is 7-5 for fruit and 8 draws that suggest smaller difference than 21-19 and I do not think that fruit's strong point is simple endgames(it has a problem in fine70). I will not be surprised if fruit lose in this test against shredder or fritz inspite of the fact that I believe that fruit is better endgame player than them. Uri
