I can add that in the last tournament Rybka scored 1.5/2 against quad Shredder
and parallel Ikarus from lost positions thanks to playing better in the endgame.

It is correct that some endgame knowledge is missing and I know about stupid
mistakes of rybka because of that problem.

It is not correct that rybka has no endgame knowledge.
