It is not Rybka fault if two opponents blundered in a winning position, but I
would call this luck...do you have a better word?
The games are there to be seen...

This needs to be said, but I said also that it deserved to win as played the
best chess by making less mistakes than the opponents.

This is just a realistic analysis and I am not saying that the win was due to
only luck...there is much difference!

Yes, we all know that actually Rybka is the strongest program and this came out
from this tournament too.

I would add also that with J.Noomen book and a better hardware, plus improved
further it is for sure the favorite in Turin...unless someone improves much
more...we will see.
