I haven't seen Rebel playing such a move for years. Bd6 is penalized less because of the developed bishop on b7 but apparently here this doesn't work good enough to avoid the ugly Bd6. I thought we had all this....... >This move was a key move for the whole game. Of course. >I think that Reti Opening is no very completely in rebel 9 too?

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. This is only possible in a Windows environment. Plans are ready. I am currently busy rewriting Rebel from ASM to C++ in order to port the engine to Windows. Sigh. >Also asking draw option, resig option and more time leves :) And an engine improvement of 200-300 points I assume :)) No kidding but the Rebel9 questionnaire is very informative which way to go. Very good user input! I can recommend it to my competitors :)) - Ed Schroder - >Thanks >MRB.
