I Think you're right. To me the gratest weakness of Rybka is that it is
sometimes throwing away a half point by drawing a won position or by loosing a
draw one.

Another weakness is that the actual Rybka-version likes to exchange to the
endgame with the a- or h-pawn and "wrong" bishop which Rybka doesn't evaluate as
a draw. This type of endgame occurs quite often in Rybka's games, so that a
little endgame knowledge could help to avoid it and so to save a few half
points.
