I guess that Anand was under the impression of his first 3 losses and spent too
much time on his moves against an opponent that was MUCH stronger than he had
expected. I hope he will analyze the games for us and comment on his impression
of Rebel 10.

I feel that Ed has done an excellent job in many ways comparable to the efforts
of the Deep Blue team in the 2nd Kasparov match. So his success (and the match
already is a HUGE success, no matter what the final outcome will be) is well
deserved. Anti-GM engine (Ed), anti-Anand opening book (Jeroen), fast hardware
(K6/450, Kryotech) sum up to a legitimate challenge for Anand. I don't know how
much money and time Ed spends on this adventure, but I guess you could well buy
a nice used car for it ...

Congratulations to Ed & Co. !

Moritz
