GM Ehlvest vs. Rybka

A strange match happened between FIDE GM Jaan Ehlvest (2610) and Rybka, with White playing with 7 pawns in all games...

How to get an equalized game vs. Rybka

Rybka handicapped by a pawn does not seem to be a sufficient compensation. Let's furnish the human GM with an extra knight :-)

Shredder 10 vs. Rybka 2.3.1

Quite funny, Harry Schnapp 'organized' a match with the same conditions between Shredder 10 UCI and Rybka 2.3.1 (still playing with 1 pawn less) : Shredder 10 won the match 5,5 / 2,5

Haha

Notice that giving a pawn in the starting position is not necessary a big disadvantage, depending of which pawn. For example I do it "everytime" with 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 (BDG) where after 4..exf3 5.Nxf3, it seems to be a "normal" position, but without the f pawn. And my claim is: White have a dynamical equality with best play against best play!
