These are the results of 3 seperate "power analysis"
searches for Rebel 8. Based on these Rebel will not
play Bxg2 at the root.

        Eval
Ply	Bg7	Bxg2	Kh8
10	2.26	1.56	2.02
11	2.34	1.86	2.03
12	2.61	2.32	2.32
13	3.41	2.62	2.05

What does Ferret do after you enter Bg7?
Will it play b6 for white and
Bxg2 for black?

Looks like Rebel 8 would have won this game(under 40/2 conditions) as
Joel Benjamin did 13 years ago but with a
transposition of moves.
