So what if Rebel 10 kills Fritz 5 in Blitz. I find junior 4.6 better then Fritz
5 at blitz also in head to head matches. Who said the Fritz 5 was the best blitz
program. The SSDF rating is for slow chess.

The problem I have is you can not say that Fritz 5 is a stupid or dumb program
because Rebel 10 beats it. That is not what that shows. You can not cancel out
Fritz 5 other results with other people and programs because Rebel 10 beats it.
What the data tells me is that rebel 10 is just better then Fritz 5. At least a
blitz time controls. If you are accurate in your facts.

Yes it does, because you try to use the data you have to show that fritz 5 is
dumb. The rebel 10 data can not cancel out the other results that fritz 5 has.
But like I said you could argue that Rebel 10 is better at least at blitz time
controls right now. I do not have one problem with that. If rebel 10 is just a
better program then so be it, if that what the data shows.

If Rebel 11 comes out and it beats Rebel 10 does that prove that Rebel 10 was a
weak and stupid program. I would think not. All it tells me is the Rebel 11 is
better.
