1.Nf3 This came as a pleasant surprise. I think that 1.e4! is critical, a King’s Gambit. 1...d5! Now I already knew that center and space are the main issue against Rybka. 2.d4 Nf6 3.c4 e6 4.Nc3 Be7 5.e3 0–0 6.Bd3 c5 7.0–0 Nc6 8.dxc5

8...Bxc5? Yep, when you have lost the two previous games you are not looking for some kind of endgame even with extra pawn after 8...dxc4 9.Bxc4 Qxd1 and so on. 9.Bd2 a6 10.Qe2 Ba7 11.Rad1 Qe7 12.Kh1 dxc4 13.Bxc4 Ng4 14.h3 Nge5 15.Bb3
