Hi lin

 As far as the interface and general features of rebel goes, I think it is
without doubt one of the best.  It may be that I started out with rebel 6 and I
am just familiar with rebel, but I like it better than fritz, genius, mchess and
a few others.  I think is is also very good for analysis, it seems to have the
most accurate evaluation system.  As far as playing strength, I can only express
an opinion as I am a non-master, but I think it is second only to hiarcs, as far
as human vs computer play.,
