You be suprised standing on the gate of heaven hehe. Again a very bad insinuation Though I don't think that Rebels standard setting are working good with anti GM I still have faith in rebel winning from Loek van Welly anyways with a very small marge I also do not think it is smart to close the position under all cicumstances against Rebel Especialy not when anti-gm is activated And winning equal rook endings forget it. It mostlikely wil be the otherway around. It is much better to build up a positional advantage! I do see Loek van Wely as a player who has many times difecultys folowing the right plan shaky I would call it. He did write a story in het Brabant Dagblad Newspaper from the Province Brabant the Netherlands he said he needed some one to kick his ass once in a while to keep scoring good. I responded on this with a mesage Is Loek serious and Said to him that I maybe would take that job. (I realy thought I did him a favour!) Included my reference (Though I doubt very much I had to do so) But he did not respond on this mesage. Normaly saying nothing means yes But I doubt very much if this also should be aplied here. Ok playing copycat I can do that too. (Like in van Wely versus Fritzxxx NK2000) But that is not his strenght but from the analyzer. Ok you also can say he is the better theoritican one of the benifits being a member of club Kasparov! if Loek van Wely is able to prepare some of these games by himself I have not a problem with it. It is the programers fault making this match at the moment the program is out for a longtime. But It would be of more valeu if he finds some new plans by himself! (he also could win with playing autoplayer games and rember the games preferably after 1.e4 always the same reply and the same with all other moves) But the nice part is that Rebels book also uses most of my analyzes Which is not that strange because they became chesstheory!
