Game 3- Rybka /Zappa

[geots]

At least Zappa knows he cant be content to sit back and draw on white. But im afraid in forcing the issue he is overextending himself. But we shall see.

Watch out for Rybka's bishops. Zappa should have snatched the white one earlier when he had the chance!

It looks like Zappa will win this one as it's a pawn up and Rybka's bishop's are buried.

for both. The opening is again a Ruy Lopez, I wonder if we will see another
opening in the match .} 16. d5 {
this weakens the a1-h8 diagonal, but the knight has to go back to a5.} Na5 17.

the bishop on the diagonal.} 18. b4 Nb7 19. a4 (19. bxc5 Nxc5 20. Bxc5 dxc5 21.

blocked by white's pawns and black is a pawn down...} 34. Rb8 Kh7 {White has mo
re active pieces and is a pawn up, so exchanging rooks looks like a logical
idea. Also black has a weak pawn on d6.} 35. Rxc8 Qxc8 36. f4 Kh8 37. Kg2 Qe8
38. f5 Bh7 {White puts all his pawns on white squares to block the bishop, the
next step will be to exchange the black squaerd bishops and to show that the
knight is much stronger than the bishop in this position.} 39. Rb6 Qe5 40. Bf2

Rybka's Bishop was shut down, that is for sure. Nice crush to make up for Rybka's endgame win yesterday. Just wish they would stick with one version of Rybka only. Hard to call this a match under these conditions. Which version was Zappa playing today anyway??

[Tony Thomas]

Wow, a nice one by Zappa. Good to see that it isnt a one sided match.
