Also, the information on the Rebel homepage is somewhat misleading, as
the
"Rebel at Aegon" page says about two exhibition matches:
[
Time control for the clock simultan, 1½ hours for the whole game plus 30
seconds for each move
(Fischer method).
]
So how did they play the games when Rebel doesn't have a Fischer
clock??????
And I really hope we won't have to wait for Rebel 10 to get acceptable
time
controls; maybe a patch or something would be a better solution.
It makes no sense to me to combine the strongest chess engine today with
such ancient configuration limitations.
