But when someone plays specific anti-computer chess, deeper doesn't help. Either the program understands what is going on or it doesn't. If it does understand, then a faster machine will let it see the blocked positions earlier and it can take action sooner. If it doesn't understand blocked positions then faster hardware is just going to let it compute the wrong things faster. I don't know how rebel handles/understands anti-computer stuff, so I have no idea how it would be affected by faster hardware.
