It seems to me that you might have a point. It doesn't need to get any stronger. I wouldn't know if it's killer instinct could be further refined. I don't play chess programs to become a better chess player but just for fun. It's way more fun than watching Seinfeld or whatever's on TV these days. I'm not concerned about becoming a better chess player and have bunch of other things to do that I need to be doing in that time I'd be spending becoming a better chessplayer--and I make money at some of these things. But I think playing Gambit has actually improved my game, not that I much care, to tell you the truth, more than just a little bit. I'd like to play Gambit--and Rebel--with longer time controls, not that it would help me, but no telling what I'd see. As it it, I set it for 2 minutes for each side. >Just remember to play Rebel Century 3.0 every >now and then. You wouldn't want to offend Ed Schroder. I do play some blitz with Rebel a few days a week, just for some variance. I think Rebel is an interesting program though I'm not sure why I like it more than Fritz--to play against, I mean. I don't think Fritz is a bad program to play blitz against, but I do prefer Gambit and Rebel to it. (I think I had said Gambit was the only program I played, but I do play about a dozen blitz games with Rebel once or twice a week--in case anybody is keeping up.) Yeah, I like Rebel, but Ed has a crappy website and he sent out some fairly crappy documentation with that booklet ICD sent me. Turned out I didn't even that booklet--Rebel set up without a serial. Somebody posted some settings for Rebel where it supposedly would play similar to Gambit Tiger. I wish somebody would repost it. rc
