Even if Rybka would have lost against Junior she would have been world champion.

Oh sorry, english isn't my native language and I didn't understand "undefeatedely" thinking it meant "definitively."

We also have to hand it to HIARCS as it only had an 8 core as opposed to Rybka's 40 core.

I think it would be ideal and I know this has been talked about before if they had everyone on an even keel with the CPU power or to have say a standard deviation to deal with. Rybka was already strongest in the world so was it any doubt that with 40 cores it wouldn't win?
