Ofcourse It's going to be interesting, but then again I don't like handicap match in this case, the engine could take time handicap but not the pawn handicap.

Wish granted, a 1-10 time handicap with Ponder Off will take place:

Oh boy, three separate handicaps, that is not a real chess match!

Handicaps are the worst idea in man versus machine. Handicaps onky produces distorsion ....... better for us is to know the reality power of engines.....

Perhaps is it that handicapping the engine(to one pawn less) is_ not too good_ for anti-computer human such as yourself?

A big handicap for a top GM like Vadim Milov is not fair for Rybka. In fact even a small handicap will do.

I analysed the games of Vladimir Vainshtein (my chess teacher) with Rybka 3 and Shredder 10 (Shredder 10 is weaker than Rybka 3). I was surprised because although he is not a Grandmaster he still played better moves than Rybka in many cases. In several positions it took Rybka several minutes to show his moves in the analysis although in most positions they agreed. This means that if Vladimir Vainshtein can play better chess than Rybka then surely a top GM like Vadim will do and i will not be surprised if Rybka will lose the match.

Rybka 3.0 will crash the GM like a bug....

Chess is not about playing the best moves, but about not blundering. Rybka excels at not blundering so it doesn't matter if the GM plays moves stronger than Rybka 80% of the time, if he slips later that slip will decide the game in Rybka's favor.
