It's positions like this that make me think Hiarcs can over take Rybka. I think Hiarcs has better understanding of inbalances. Either that or Rybka needs better tuning.

If only it were that simple...........Fritz 5.32 selects Nxd5 in only 32 seconds on my FX60, though it's true it didn't get to the full line even after 3mins :D

I'm not sure if this is just a tactical combination rather then an understanding of inbalances?

Certainly Rybka isn't the sharpest tool in the box with regards tactics, whereas Hiarcs will normally find the merest sniff of a chance to wipe opponents from the board!
