And the World Computer Champion is...

   Rybka (surprise, surprise). The 15th World Computer Chess Championship
   finished earlier today in Amsterdam, and Rybka won with an undefeated
   10-1 score; Zappa (sold by ChessBase, at least in an earlier edition)
   went 9-2 and was also undefeated. Shredder, in years past my favorite
   ChessBase program, finished tied for fourth with a 7-4 score (behind
   Loop's 7.5-3.5), while ChessMaster fans (if any) will be distressed to
   see The King in next to last with a 2.5-8.5 score.
   Will there be a match between Rybka and Ultimate Challenge winner Deep
   Junior? I think the probability is extremely close to zero, but fans
   can hope.
