Subject: If I study ten games a day it will take 216 years to finish.

Dear CCC,

I didn't realize just how big the Rebel Century 3.0 database of the best games
of the last 150 years was.  800,026 games is a lot of games.  This data is
certainly not the biggest possible but I would challenge any of you to study 100
games each and every day for almost 22 years.

I kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling just on the letter "F" and found
that a guy by the name of Frohlich played five games in the past.  Now if
Fink,Finkelstein,Fricke and Fine are as talented I will be impressed.

If it took over 6000 man hours to compile all these games then the price of less
than sixty dollars US for Rebel 11 is less than one cent per hour.  This does
not include the thousands of hours that Ed Schroeder and Christophe Theron and
Lex Loep and Jeroen Noomen etc. have put into the programs and interface of both
Rebel Century 3.0 and Rebel Tiger/Gambit Tiger.

You can not go wrong if you buy Rebel 11.  On the other hand, you may suffer
from information overload.
