Yes, I do.

Something we discussed earlier: tactics vanish when programs can go deep
enough (and you know that so well). It used to be in favour of Rebel...
Times are changing...

Please tell us about the results. I swear I'll never say it's commercial
announcement. :)

Can you give us an idea of the average ply depth Rebel9 reaches in those
games, if it is not "top secret"?

I begin to be glad not to see Rebel in Paris this year, because if Rebel
is good ALSO in fast chess, I'd better go back to tic-tac-toe (I wrote a
very strong TTT program, you know) :)

But I hope to see you, because I'm one of your fans!
