My impressions are: * Pawns are like electrons: Energy, but not material :) * The advantage of the bishop pair is evaluated higher than usual. * With black, it's typical that Rybka will give a pawn early, to fight for the initiative... or just to imbalance the position. The last point seems comparable to Lasker's style. Rybka is confident to succeed, even if it has to sacrifice, to force the opponent into a fighting position. I have seen many games where Rybka turned a bad eval into a win. It is also typical that the opponents overestimate their advantage, after such a Rybka sac. best regards Austin
