Not only Rebel 9 can be chosen, but R7 and R8 as well. Since I have R8, I compared decade 2.0/R8 engine with R8 itself. I used as a test position 1. f4 e5 on infinite level, and waited until the computer had an 8 ply line of play. R8 liked 2. fe d5 3. ed Bd6 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Nc3 (8 ply) after 38 seconds (on my 486/133). Decade 2.0/R8 had exact same 8 ply line, but took 44 seconds. Both programs were operating in the same dos session, and both were using 512K hash. So, beyond the cool fact that anyone now can have the r7,r8,r9 engines for free, why is Decade 2.0/R8 slower than R8 if both are using the same engine?
