The reverse of Game 1, I gained a strong advantage in the opening through lines I described yesterday but only managed a draw. Java HTML/JS As I annotated in the game, I could have drawn after 24 moves and almost blew it going for the win. Computers are tough :cry: The English Opening seemed to cause Rybka many problems, so tomorrow I hope to get into the Sicilian opening which is basically the English with colours reversed. Rybka favours 1. Nc3, but I think I can transpose into the Sicilian Najdorf variation after 1...c5 2. e4 d6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 a6, although 2. Nf6 and 4. d3 are both very possible variations I may have to face. I'll also look into the alternative of transposing into the Caro-Kann defence which typical lines include 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4. I need a win tomorrow in order to draw the match. I finally have a reason to think it's possible after the very effective opening strategy today. Game 1: Zurahn-Rybka ½ - ½ Game 2: Rybka-Zurahn 1-0 Game 3: Zurahn-Rybka ½ - ½ Rybka leads by a score of 2-1.
