Rebel 9/PMMX225/64MB, Hiarc 6/PII266/64MB and CM5000/PII300/64MB are
playing in the stronger tournament made in Dominican Republic.

Time control is 2H/40M. 1H at finish.

The human participant are:
7 of our national champions including the actual.
4 of our MI
1 CUBAN MI
several FM

The first position are:

1        Rebel 9            7.5/8
2        Hiarc 6             6.5/8
3-5     HUMANS         6.5/8
6-8     HUMANS         6.0/8
9        CM5000           5.5/8

The players had recognize the strength of REBEL 9. congrats Ed.

In the last round REBEL 9 make a draw with black against one of the
stronger player of the country. Here i have a comment and a question for
Ed.

The reason of the draw was that the human had to repeat position with
less than 1 minute for make 6 moves !!.  3 move before the human had a
completely winning position that he can not realize because time
trouble.  The winning position was demonstrated with out doubt with a
post morten analisis with the computer.  The Rebel 9 problems begin with
a very bad move in the begin of game.  Here are the data:

Rebel 9 black, PMMX225 60 mb Hash, Level: 1:30/40Move

1.Cf3 Cf6 2.g3 b6 3.Ag2 Ab7 4. 0-0 e6 5.d3 Ad6?? after that program
couldn recover until human's time trouble.  The human take aprox. 2
minutes for make 5.d3 and REBEL 9  out of book whith this move take 3:39
for make Ad6??.  The question is why a Strong program choose Ad6 in this
position?  Ed.?

This move was a key move for the whole game.

I think that Reti Opening is no very completely in rebel 9 too?

After the game some of the player sayed that 5. ... Ad6 was a mistake of
the operator but reproducing the game and wait 2 min for make 5. d3 the
program choose Ad6 again but if we reproducing the game a maked 5.d3
without wait then Rebel 9 choose 5. ... d5!   ?

Well, after all Rebel 9 is my favorite program. Other question Ed.

When we can see rebel  accepting chess engines like hiarc, junios, etc.,
i think that this will be a GREAT IDEA!!! for rebel 10 or rebel 11.
Also asking draw option, resig option and more time leves :)

Thanks

MRB.
