Let us not forget however that Anand >had other things on his mind too before the Fritz match, like The Nixdorf >Giants. In the Rebel match his full concentration could be on totally >destroying rebel! Rebel didn't even beat Junior(taking nothing away from junior >of course), but in the words of Elmer Fudd "Oh Da howror!" Lets cut Ed some slack here. Rebel 10 only played 2 games vs Junior 5. With the score of 1.5 to .5 in favor of Junior 5. I can pull any 1 game out of my database from any program, and show how bad it is. 2 Games means nothing. And as for the Anand match no one in there right mind thinks that Rebel 10 will beat GM Anand a near 2800 rated player in this up coming match. So Ed has nothing to lose, but if Rebel 10 does do well he gains alot. I would rather Ed play a super strong GM and lose, then play some old and weak GM just so he could say Rebel 10 beats GM in his ads.
