I accept your opinion but I still think white is safe if it plays 20.g3 and can
start his own attack either by advancing with a- and b-pawn or by increasing
preasure on the centre.
Concerning 20.gxh3 you are right, it is probably even stronger than 20.g3 (white
spoiled the game later with 31.Rgxh6?). But I just wanted to point out the
possibility for white to block the whole kingside in case it wants to avoid any
trouble. From my observations I think Rybka let the opponent too often block the
position. That's not meant as criticism just a hint where Rybkas still could
have a weakness.
