Subject: Rebel10

I upgraded to Rebel10 (at the higher price, by the way --- nobody has contacted
me and offered me a refund) and I'm a little dissapointed with the playing
strength.  It seems like Rebel10 is s-l-o-w, and the anti-GM default option is
the likely culprit.  An example:  BT2630, #27.  Where Rebel9 finds the move
e5-e6! after 0:53 on my P90, Rebel10 with anti-GM set to "smart" finds this move
after 5:00, and with anti-GM set to "off" still needs more than 2:00 to find the
winning move.  This is just one example, of course, but there seems to be a
trend . . . I'm testing more positions.  However, I do like the improved
database functions (the search mask in particular).  So, I guess, I can always
use the Rebel9 engine within Rebel10.
