They might be waeker, but NOT weaker. Plus GM Benjamin is much weaker than the top human GM, like GM Anand.

PS: If it was GM Anand playing, the score would have been at least 2 wins plus three draws for Anand :wink:

Is Benjamin in the list of top human Chess players?

Also what was his preparations for this match?
After his son's birth they've asked him:
"Is it a boy or girl?"
YES! He replied.....

I thought about the same thing 5 seconds after I posted this PGN. Rybka is too strong for GM Benjamin. In order to make it more interesting, the Rybka team should had used a mere Athon 1200 MHz.
