So Zappa will go into the final game leading 5-4

Well done Anthony - hard to lose the match from there! :lol:
Yes, Zappa can't lose the match now only win it. The funny part is Zappa only needs a Draw to win it. Great Job Erdo and Anthony!
When I read your post earlier about today being black day for Zappa, I thought that Zappa lost both matches and needed a draw to not lose the match. Oh well, I guess Rybka got the white pieces, black better not try anything funny.

Actually after looking at this game again and doing some analysis ... my Rybka puts f4?? as its 8th best move at depth 19 (which should take less than 20 seconds in this position on a 8 core). Obviously something has changed in this new version of Rybka and whatever change was made has backfired. Anything but f4 should win ... very unfortunate for Rybka team.
