Will Rybka win the second Chess960 title in a row? The programs Rybka and Shredder qualify for the finals and will battle it out in four games. Will see a repetition of last year’s final? Place your bets Ladies and Gentlemen.

Rybka seems to have a long way to go for being good at analyzing Chess960.

I think that was the last game. Rybka Wins! It only took 30 moves.

I think that you cannot get conclusions based on one game that rybka lost.
Rybka seems to be clearly better than other programs also in chess960.

Rybka scored almost 11.5/16 in chess960 in the last 3 days against the top programs.
It seems to me a very impressive result.

results are
5.5/8 against shredder
2.5/4 against naum
3.5/4 against deep sjeng
