The Rebel site gives g3 as a reply to Qd4. However there is a good chance that
in the game Rebel would not play g3 but Qe7 instead. I tested this on an Athlon
900 and set up the position a few moves earlier to simulate actual game play.
For Van der Wiel I waited 3 minutes then entered the move Qd4, which Rebel
expected. Rebel replied Qe7.

Is the default Rebel playing or one with different parameters?
