I apologize,
  Gandalf is 0.5 points ahead on Rybka and it has WHITE against Fruit, an
  advantage for GANDALF.
  Rybka has BLACK, which in chess is a huge disadvantage.

The statistical odds for gandalf to be at least a divided tournament winner or
undivided tournament winner is far bigger than the statistical odds Rybka wins
undivided the tournament.

So you should redo your math a bit.
