True, but the other programs also seem to understand this, as they do not give
the full point advantage. Are you suggesting that Rybka understands this better
than the other programs?

as a side note, I've been runing a shootout involving engine versus itself at 5
to 11 ply. After 38 games, white is winning only 34% when you take off the f
pawn. This position is bad for white. It seems worse than the .26 evaluation
would suggest.

However, it may not be a particularly realistic position. Rybka clearly
evaluates very well.
