I'm not sure I follow this. Are you saying that Rebel 9 wanted to play Rh4 but that the operator over-rided Rebel and entered Rxd6? I'm curious because Rebel 8 never considers the move Rxd6 at all. It prefers Rh4+ also. Even so the mate announcement in 100 and something is still providing me with a good laugh. Announcing mate was a tradition at the turn of the century. Imagine someone saying, "Mate in 104" back then!
