While I don't doubt your results at all, and I love the Rebel program, 3 games
are not enough to come to any sensible conclusion about strength.

It may be that Rebel 10 is a world beater.  But without extensive testing it is
too hard to know.

I do strongly expect that new generations of Rebel are going to be very, very
strong.
