Just using my own judgment I never thought the GM had any kind of advantage. I
look at the other computer evals and the program I was using. I never seen at
any time where the GM was winning. I was looking forward to Rebel playing Rg6
and getting its first GM win, when it played the shocking c5 and traded down to
a forced drawn endgames. Very sad for Rebel, as it seemed to have a winning edge
until then.
