So, how big could the difference between Deep Blue and >Rebel 10 really be? (playing strength, not "speed"). You can't compare these matches. It's a big difference between blitz and tournament games. The Deep Blue victory was tournament games only. The Rebel-Anand match was 6 blitz games with different time limits and two tournament games. The 2 tournament games ended 1.5 - 0.5 to Anand. The 6 blitz games was won by Rebel with 4.5 - 1.5. A great result by Rebel but not that surprising, IMO. //Peter
