That's okay Slater, I will make sure you get Century 4.

Time control hint: since the permanent brain is disabled Rebel isn't able to
build a reasonable spare time and sooner or later will start playing much too
fast.

I would suggest that when Rebel is out of book let it play 8 moves and then
reset the time control again. Do that after each 8 moves. I will give exact
instructions in email.
