Zappa started to drift. Its PVS looks awful, it clearly does not know what to do

Looking at the position after black's 34th move. I will say that black has had in my opinion the better part of the play in this game so far. Rybka seems to be in *Saving Face Mode*. Not doing a bad job of it so far either.

Rybka's 35...Qxe5 looks like it let Zappa back in. 35...Nc5 seemed right.

Actually i believe it is 35...Nc5?! or even 33...Nc5? and 35...Qxe5! since i believe(i will analyze more later) 35...Nc5 draws while 35...Qxe5 makes black to be better....

Both sides think that Rybka has the edge and Zappa appears to be in serious time trouble.

If I had to pick it right here and now, I'd say we're going to be looking at a squared up match with one left to play!

It won't be easy though, especially with opposite colour bishops.

I don't like those opposite colour bishops.

Transmission from the two links posted has stopped, but the game can still be viewed on playchess.com apparently.

Rybka has BPPP v B (opposite coloured bishops), but kibitzers are arguing over whether or not there's a win.

It's dead drawn. Rybka blundered by allowing the rooks to trade off.

Could you please post the position Richard?
