Now that Rebel has won Finally agiast a GM which is what I have been waiting for
I have a question, or more of a query really.

In the past comments have been made that no program is of GM standard and even
if a prgram does win, in some people eyes this means very little in the overall
scheme of programs being better.

But with this game, even though a win is a win. Did Rebel just clearly out play
the GM or was it a GM stuff up and Rebel was Lucky and took advantage of this
stuff up. Having no idea how this GM plays I wonder from comments made in the
past how far this bring computer chess.

Was Rebel was in a good chance of winning from the start or was it a case of "I
know we are weaker and hope that the GM stuffs up and we take advantage of this
and win."

This is just a post to give more opinions, not a swipe at Rebel, I have Rebel
and is one of my two favorite programs and from past posts I have wrote you
should know that I want it to win. This is just me making conversation on an
obsevation that was made in the past.

Again Congrate's Rebel and Ed and Team.
