After playing around with the new Rebel 11 package, which I by the way find to be exelent value, I have come to a conlusion that the best interface in the package is the Century 3.0 Dos interface!! Even if the graphic is not that hot, I feel that the configurability makes it possible to set up just the right info for my needs. Analyzing games: Put in every info possible. Playing games: Make a clean setup with only board, move list and player names. Of course you also configure Tiger, but everything feels a bit clumsy, at least compared to the CB interfaces for Windows. I find it the old Rebel interface more pleasing than the looks of windows Tiger. Perhaps its just the ugly chess pieces in Tiger thats makes me feel this way. Anyway I like the feeling of comming back to the days when PC and computers where a new and great experience! (OK, sometimes its great to have the high res etc. in the Windows interface.) Anyway, why not give us the best of both worlds with the Tiger engines in the Rebel interface as well! Torstein PS! I find that both Gambit Tiger and Rebel are great fun to play with, and are very strong chess engines indeed. Chess Tiger on the other hand is probably the strongest engine in the package, but the playing style feels very dry, on the border of boring, at least compared to the others!
