Many humans will win one game and then draw the next just to get the day off. They still won. :) >, beat the lithuanian nat'l team, Beat sherbakov, almost >beat a 2593 Baburin, all in a few months Get your calendar straight. Rebel-Anand was almost a year and a half ago.

Show me the results I have filtered out. I have only an IM performance rating of 2485 for Rebel after about a dozen games.
