The aegon tournament was a long time ago so I cannot count it today.

Rebel did the best result in Israel against humans but you can blame the
operator of shredder for this fact.

If you compare Junior's results in dortmund with other results you can see that
Junior did the best results so the picture is not clear.

Rebel may be the best against humans but I am not sure about it.

The meaning of being the best against humans is also not clear because it is
possible that one program is best in winning weak players when another program
is best in playing against strong players.

It proves that Rebel is the best against you but it does not prove that Rebel is
the best against humans.
