Perhaps by setting the time control to 1:50 average or so? No big deal, really.... And it's allowed to change the level in case of time trouble on the 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. While I agree Rebel can be improved with 'fischer' method and a flexible 2th and 3th time control (it's now automatic) Rebel9 offers you 'other' levels which you will not find in other programs. # Level 'Power Analysis Include' # Level 'Power Analysis Exclude' # Level 'Fixed time' - Ed Schroder - >--- >Shep
