Thanks Ed for you comments. As usual, your point of view is very
interesting and also shows much insight in the business.

Rebel10 had done a great job, in BOTH tournament games.
You cannot look on the result and say, ONLY .5 from 2.
This is not what has happened.
We studied and followed anything and saw the Qe6 time-problem in game 7th too.
What I don't understand is, why rebel10 plays Qh5+ in game8th.
Some programs (crafty, genius, cstal) don't want to play
Qh5 and the major exchange because they see, that there is no initiative
anymore.

White has exchanged all attacking pieces and , as in the 7th game, the
material is not equal and for computers it is very difficult to understand
how to deal these different material stuff in combination with the
connected-passed-pawn topic.

IMO Anand chose in BOTH games the fire-exit-door, because he was overplayed by
rebel. He HAD to use this door, otherwise he would not have had any chances.

So he concentrated on endgame, connected passed-pawn-topic, or krbb vs. Krr,
this IS too complicate for many chess programs, and much work has to be invested
before computers handle these kind of situations as good as humans.

We are all looking forward to upgrade or buy Rebel 10 !


Thanks to the whole team. You made us very proud of you !!
