Thanks till now!

At now move 50 looks very bad for Rybka.

I think this will be 2-0 for H3. H3 is conservative on the score, but the position is almost hopeless for black, if she cannot find a way out with the TBs pherhaps.

If it's defensable, it's defensable.

But i'm inclined to say it isn't, because of threats from passed pawn.

The luck of Rybka is the lack of minor pieces. Let's see if she can hold back.

Apart the opening (that was played patzer-like by Rybka) the middle-endgame has been very interesting.

It's interesting how after move 55.Qg3 the evaluation jumps from 1.18 to 1.44.
I have no idea why, the Rybka Cluster doesn't know either... let's wait and see.

Yep, I noticed that too.

EDIT: Oh, yes, sure. H3 did find a way to trade one rook. Now everything is much simpler for Houdini.

It's interesting to note that the evaluation graph is a steady, inesorable, climb.
