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.
