What is this supposed to prove? I see Black blundering in a rapid game, thereby losing to an opponent rated 200 ELO higher? Calling the game "interesting" because it's a quick loss for Rybka's author, if that's your reason, seems crass to me. Everyone has bad games...

Interesting because it is Rybka's author just as it would be for any other well known authors; Crafty, Sjeng, etc.

That game was pretty fun. White's stand-off in the center ended up being an elaborate way to give it up. :)
