Your title is misleading so I changed it in my reply.
My opinion is that Rybka searches x+2 plies when it claims to search x plies.

From my experience it can see at fixed depth of 1 ply things that other programs
see at fixed depth of 3 plies

Here is an example

[D]3k2r1/ppb5/3p4/r2N1p2/8/8/1P6/1K2RB1R b - - 0 1
[D]3k2r1/pp1b4/3p4/r2N1p2/8/8/1P6/1K2RB1R b - - 0 1

Rybka does not capture the knight at depth 1 in the first case but capture the
knight ar depth 1 in the second case.

Can Vasik explain why?

evaluation?
I do not believe it.

It must be search and rybka search after Rxd5 Bc4 black move and see that in the
first case no move save black from a loss of full rook when in the second case
it searches Rxd5 Bc4 Bc6
