Rybka wins the ICT7 in Leiden with 7,5 out of 9. Runner up is Zappa with 7 points. Third place isn't clear yet.

Yes. Rybka had some technical problems at the first day, though - and had a fine win against Zappa... :)

Yes, very exciting tonurney indeed. Cool that they did not give out the 1st prize after 6 rounds (after tie break), or after the 1st round :wink:

Rybka missed a win in the first round (played a3 instead of Kg2), but I heard from the Rybka operator that it was most likely because of the connection problems they were having.
