Thanks for your support everyone!

Houdini won game 20 to make the score 11.5 - 8.5 in favor of Rybka.

Game 21 is underway, now we have a interesting King's Gambit (accepted), with Rybka as white. Game 22 will have the same opening, but with Houdini as white.

Anyone watched Carlsen play the King's Gambit in Bazna?

Carlsen is awesome!

I miss game 17 in the game archive.

The game archive should be complete now.

Great!

Game 26: Slow manoeuvering, then a surprising blow (24...Nf3+!!), and back to some more manoeuvering. Great game.
