Sorry Ed, but where is the sense in it? Is there any difference than playing
Rebel10-Rebel9 which is also meaningless?
Would you expect a result of 50-50 when both playing PB=on or both PB=off? I
wouldn't.
I think the most interesting idea is to take Rebel+PB=on against another program
with PB=on and as comparison play the same match with both PB=off. Of course you
can extend this to Rebel+PB-vs-Opp X PB=off and Rebel PB=off vs Opp X PB=on.

But Rebel vs Rebel, sorry, there is really no sense in it.
