I don't have much game data for Rebel 10's endgames, so I pulled the 1986 Chess
Informant off the self and took the first 18 of 36 endings to test Rebel 10
with. Just to see what results I would get. I don't have H7, but I got Genius 5
results also.

Rebel 10 solved, 12 of 18 with in 7 min.

Genius 5 solved, 9 of 18 with in 7 min.

Rebel 10 was faster at solving 6 of the positions.

Genius 5 was faster at solving 3 of the positions.
