Rainbow Serpent needs a lot of re-searches to resolve the score at iteration twenty, it is still slightly positive in the end with a PV with the reply 3. b4. Not the 0.00 that Rybka finds.
37 milllion nodes to find Rxf3 is slightly faster than Stockfish but with only one thread and on my machine this is not so fast, with more threads maybe Rainbow Serpent would need many more nodes as well.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Perhaps its a draw, but I am not sure yet. In the line you give, F6 ? allowing the exchange sac is weak. Bf4! is much better! Then white has to contend with the passers. Bah.... I found the draw here too! So I guess f6 is not so weak :roll:
