Rybka 2.5 - Dzindzichashvili 1.5
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1217398318.shtml


   This was the score in [1]an odds match played this past Monday. GM and
   anti-computer expert Roman Dzindzichashvili started every game with
   the white pieces and Black's f-pawn, but even so he was unable to
   defeat Rybka 3.0 in the match or even a single game. Rybka won game 2
   and drew the rest, though "Dzindzi" had an overwhelming advantage in
   game 3. These computer are awfully tough!
   There's [2]another article about Rybka on the ChessBase site promoing
   its features, and it looks really good, too. Shritzarcs is going to
   have its work cut out for it if it hopes to compete with Rybka.
   The Rybka-Dzindzi match games can be replayed [3]here.
