| playground player: Somewhere out there, there's gotta be a science fiction story about two computers playing chess after all the people on earth are long gone. Ray Bradbury, Norman Spinrad, where are you? |

| kevin86: A while back,I put in an inquiry of 2R+B vs Q endings-I finally found the game! It is a clear indication how the pieces can overpower the queen-even if the weaker side has two passed pawns. A basic principle of this site is to instruct (in many possible ways); This game fits the bill well. |

| PinnedPiece: <sanyas: I think 120.f6 was the losing move.> Another contender might be 178 QF3... must have been way past Rybka's bedtime. |

| Jimfromprovidence: As first reported by <Eyal> in September, 2007, This position after move 152 for black is a forced win for black, according to the Nalimov tablebases.

Maybe it's time to take up checkers. |

| xrt999: I especially appreciate the fluidity in black's play from moves 60 through 120, and white's corresponding detachment in the same 60 moves. It is beautiful and mesmerizing to watch black's rooks shuffle about the same 4 squares, and white's king shuffle from the first to fifth rank then back again, over and over, for 60 moves. |

| Xeroxx: Maybe Rybka was drunk!? |

| patzer of patzers: According to wikipedia (see Rybka article), Rybka moved a pawn to avoid the 50-move draw rule, which put it in a losing position. |

| anandrulez: Rybka simply is too arrogant to push for the win there - sac the pawn etc... |
|

| popski: Also 178.Qf3? What, Rybka doesn't have resign flag implemented? Now that's arrogant! |

| WhiteRook48: 178. Qf3?? maybe Rybka was trying to avoid the 50 move rule |
|
| Jan-28-09 |
| WhiteRook48: instead of 178. Qf3 Rybka should have resigned |

| WhiteRook48: by 177....Rbd4 Rybka is crashed |

| MarvinTsai: This is definitely the game of this match between computers. By this game Zappa gained a 3-win streak against Rybka(a record?), and the winner prize(final result: 5.5-4.5). About 109.h6, Rybka chose that because he thought that losing the pawn still is better than draw the game. Soon then the situation is obvious: without the h-pawn, f-pawn can't be a threat enough, black rooks can easily hold the back rank and go grab the b-pawn. We can clearly see what's Rybka's problem(like all other computers): they simply can't choose the important and easy thing to think. It's such a simple logic for human being to use by ourself, but not to teach computers. If Rybka can see another 10 plies maybe he won't make the h6 mistake, but under that time control it's out of his mind range. That's not something possibly being overcome in years or even forever. To see a horizon you must first understand what a horizon is. |

| TechnoGuyRob: 178. Qf3 is not so surprising in the light that checkmate is about to follow and white has no checks left. In fact, it's the only move which delays checkmate for more than 2 moves. |
