From Lukas on the Rybka forum about Rybka cluster:
But we've got a timing problem - Rybka is playing much too fast. So we are not playing at full strength :-( Probably this can't be fixed before the last rounds begin.
So Rybka has a problem, but is nevertheless doing very well so far

Yeah I guessed that was the case. Anyway, if Rybka hadn't had this problem, there'd still be high possibility that game with TL would have ended in draw because the opening book took both the engines in to the late middle game position with 0.00 evaluation for both the sides, and with only 3 or 4 fighting pieces left on the board. :)
