And then there was one ...

I will be pulling for the underdog (Junior), even if I don't think it will happen. :wink: Can he stop the triple crown? Here is keeping "HOPE" alive! :lol:

I believe if they manage to get "their" kind of position out of the opening they are able to beat anyone. So last round game against Rybka should be the decider.

If they don't manage to stop Rybka this year then maybe next year they can lobby again for some more rule changes to handicap it even further.

Nothing personal, I just don't believe no one man should have such power! Rybka needs to be Checked!, If not Mated! :lol: 75 Elo is to much, 20 maybe ... !?

Agreed. Junior can play some openings like no one else. Who is playing white?

Don't forget that the one playing might be the secret private version of Junior that's not been released for really, really long time. Who knows if it's improved a lot in the meantime? As for Rybka, the last released version was quite recently relative to Junior 10.1.

Anyway, I think it's either a win or draw for Rybka. Rybka has one of the best books, and it plays white, so it's first to make a move and seize the initiative THAT early! :)
