Hi djordje

Here I disagree: If white plays 20.g3 instead of 20.gxh3 he has nothing to fear.
Therefore I think 16...g4 was not the best from blacks side.

Also 31.Rgxh6 was not so good from white because after that black could get rid
of his cramped pieces for only a small material disadvantage.

Apart from that I agree with you that the playing style of Rybka in general is
very entertaining and it would be a pity to 'tame' future versions only because
from time to time its pawn sacrifieces are not completely correct.
