As a Rebel fan I follow the match Rebel-van der Wiel with great interest. I was happy to see Rebel win the 4th game. I read van der Wiel was surprised by the pawn sac. on b7. Now my question is: Who made that sac? Rebel or the Rebel team? Is it fair to fight a computer (with typical anti-computer chess) and then be outsmarted by human cleverness? Or is Rebel playing with a normal opening book which won't be improved during the match and isn't specially deviced to beat van der Wiel? In short, isn't it hard to determine where human intelligence ends and computer 'stupidity' begins? I just get the impression van der Wiel is fighting a lot more than just the program. (which possibly is just as it should be.) I don't know. Marc.
