The right download adrress is:

www.rebel.nl/30days.htm

But be quick as the pages are going to be removed soon from my server.

About the GM challenge: I think not many GM's are willing to play against
computers against the current financial GM challenge conditions. Next it
costs a lot of time to prepare. I also do not believe I put Rebel's
reputation on stake if the thing will lose in the end. GM's (IMHO) are
supposed to be superior in the 40/2:00 area. I do believe that most
people think that way. I hope that the latter is not true :-)
