Well... just looked at the game. Zappa played like a jittery mouse. Didn't try
anything, didn't even provoke a skirmish. Yes, just like a jumping mouse, not
the World Champion it (still) is. Rybka impressed me by the sheer will to win.
The one and only tiny advantage was the pressure on the b3 pawn and Rybka was
relentless there. The moment that pawn was taken and Rybka's b-pawn started to
advance, the outcome was more than clear.
Looks like Jeroen got a pretty good idea what openings to play with Rybka :-).
Right on, Jeroen.
