There is no problems (according to strength) with Rebel auto-playing. I have played houndreds of games manually with the same moves and results. Everyone (except the Im-review) knows that Rebel is much weaker than its competitors in the endgame. It gave away 5-6 halfpoints in the (40games) meetings against most programs. Add 2-3 for Rebel and subtract 2-3 for the opponents and I guess it can fight for the second place! Another known weakness is it inability to play fianchetto-openings. I guess you know that and therefore avoids a lot of them. Take this as a positive critizism and fix the problems. If so Rebel can compete with anyone he(?) wants! Bertil
