Not to denigrate what Rebel did (after all, Anand is one of the best chess
players of all time) but many of the games were at quicker time controls.

What would happen at 40/2 with Rebel 3 on really fast hardware would be an
interesting subject for speculation.

Both of the targets have moved.  Will we correctly predict where the arrow falls
without any data?
