There are always positions Fritz solves faster than Rebel as there are also
positions Rebel plays better than Fritz.
Century 3.0 needs 14min58sec on my K6-200 to go for Qe6. That means about 6min
on an Athlon500. Current standard PC is about >800MHz, which may lead to less
than 4min. Fast enough I think and further hardware development will do the
rest.
No need to worry IMO.
