Rybka-Dzindzi: The Pawn and Move Battles Continue
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1204519885.shtml


   Rybka, probably the strongest commercially available program out there
   at the moment, has been beating up on humans the last year, handily
   defeating GMs while offering various sorts of odds. (More about that
   [1]here.) Starting tomorrow (Monday), it's time for a new challenge:
   an eight-game match with Roman Dzindzichashvili, once one of the
   world's strongest grandmasters and a real anti-computer expert.
   "Dzindzi" will have White and an extra pawn in every game (Rybka will
   play without the a-pawn in one game, the b-pawn in another, etc.) The
   time control will be G/45 + 10 seconds, with two games a day on
   Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. More info [2]here.
