Let me first say that I do not have the program. In the past I have bought Rebel 10 & 9, and have been happy with it and their quality and support of the Rebel products. Now onto the reason for my post. I thought Rebel Century was a windows program. Having not paid much attention to it, and for some reason the Rebel home page takes forever to load on my computer, I eventually just leave the site before it finishes loading, so I have read little on it. So the information for this product that I was able to obtain has been very little. I thought it was suppose to be the chesspartner interface and such, I thought it was suppose to be a fully windows product. Even though Rebel is a powerful chess program, I will not buy Rebel century simply because I decided, that unless Rebel bought out a windows chess program, Rebel 10 was going to be my last DOS chess program. I was going to buy Rebel Century cause I though it was suppose to be a windows chess program. Luckily I started to pay attention to all this and cancelled my purchase. Nothing against the quaility of Rebel products, just that DOS programs and the usual boot disks and other changes that always have to be made, I cannot be bothered anymore in using these kinds of programs. Next time I will pay more attention to these things and not just assume. I must say that after my big let down with CM7K I was looking forward to finally getting a windows version of my second favorite program. Looks like this Christmas and this whole year has been a let down for me. I think I might see if I can get Fritz 6 for Christmas. Even though upset with Rebel for not being a windows program. I will not tell them off like I did Mindscape, simply cause being a DOS program does not give me cause to tell off Rebel. But I am still unpset that Rebel Century is not what I first thought. Looking at other posts I am not the only one who thought it was a windows chess program. So why all this confusion ?
