That reminds me, I won a game vs Rebel 10 the other day.  It was a G/5 and the
only game I've ever won at blitz vs any of the top programs.  It was another
"f3" move by Rebel that caused it's demise.   I was watching TV between moves
and expecting to lose as usual when Rebel played the 27 f3.  I had 11 seconds
left on my clock and couldn't believe I had actually won.  Here it is:

[Event "G/5 minutes"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1999.09.24"]
[Round "?"]
[White "REBEL 10.0(PII-333)"]
[Black "Jim Walker"]
[Result "0-1"]
[WhiteElo "Very Low"]
[BlackElo "2550"]
[ECO "C26"]
