I don't agree with your conclusion because even in human tournament games, an IM
must defeat a GM in order to gain a GM norm, even if he draws all his games
against all GM in a tournament and beats all the IM's in the field, he cannot
gain a GM norm unless he beats a GM. Therefore, until Rebel beats a GM in this
GM Challenge, Rebel is not a GM performer IMHO.
