Thanks to Joseph who has played 80 games Rybka-F9 and Rybka-Fruit - endgame
test. A lot of interesting information has been collected. One could expect good
and bad endings by these programs - but maybe not this...

[Event "Rybka-Fritz9 NunnE 40 4'"]
[Site "Wollongong"]
[Date "2004.12.30"]
[Round "28.1"]
[White "Fritz 9"]
[Black "Rybka 1.0 Beta 32-bit"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Annotator "1.06;0.29"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "6k1/2p3np/1p1p2p1/3P4/1PPK1R2/6PB/7P/4r3 w - - 0 1"]
[PlyCount "11"]
[EventDate "2005.12.28"]

{GenuineIntel 447 MHz W=16.4 ply; 236kN/s; 477 TBAs B=18.4 ply; 65kN/s} 1. Bd7
{1.06/13 132} Nh5 {0.29/14 55} 2. Be6+ {(Rf3) 4.03/15 115} Rxe6 {
(Kg7) 2.72/16 191} 3. dxe6 {7.12/16 74} Nxf4 {10.00/21 1126} 4. gxf4 {

7.58/18 84} 1-0

Rybka's first move 1.-Nh5???? is a mega-gross error that loses right on the
spot. And showing only a small advantage for white (+0.29). I hope it looks
different with faster hardware. Misjudging the pawn endgame or what?
