Return of the Dzindzi: Overtime's a-comin'
On day 4 of the Rybka-Dzindzichashvili odds match (Dzindzi gets White in every game plus a different Black pawn in every game), Dzindzi caught back up, winning game 7 (with the extra g-pawn) and drawing game 8. It wasn't part of the original deal, but they're going to have a 4-game playoff today (Saturday). Rybka will play without the f-pawn in every game, which is probably the biggest handicap pawn, but the time control will be a relatively speedy 20' + 5", which is surely in its favor.

Meanwhile, today's games can be replayed here.
