I believe I have played over 15000 (!) games with Rebel6 and up. So it is of course one of my favorites. Of course it is great with the Chessbase programs ability to save in cb-format and the tactical strength of Fritz and Nimzo. Whatever Stefan believes I really like Shredder, the best auto-player, the book with the best variation, without killer-lines but probably the most solid book of all programs. And at last tomorrow I should receive the Rebel-package and of course I want to start with Tiger-Gambit. And I can't forget Gandalf with it's great attacking style and good book. And and and... Better stop. Bertil
