I asked this same question on Ed's chat room on his site. Check in there later
and maybe it will get a reply from the Rebel team.

I share your enthusiasm for the Ed and his team. As in sports I hope to see
lots of post game analysis. Especially I hope Anand will share
his thoughts on the match. The underdog has won the match. Now if Rebel
can even manage to draw one of the 40/2 games, that would be icing on the cake.

 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
