Subject: Is rebel sliding downhill?

Author: Rajen Gupta

I remember when i 1st started reading the web comp chess reports-rebel8 was the
new champ-by a huge margin.since then there is no convincing evidence that later
versions of rebel are stronger than rebel8. perhaps someone who does extensive
testing like Mark Young or enrique can tell us (on the basis of actual tests and
comp vs comp games please, not merely on subjective impressions)the following:

which is the strongest version of rebel

is rebel getting progressively weaker with each version or is this merely
because other programmes are getting disproportionately stronger?

if rebel is actually getting weaker then what is the purpose of releasing new
versions?
