I believe Rebel10 will beat anand because 4 of the games are 5 minutes per
game and 2 of the games are 15 minutes per game.

this time control is faster than the time control anand played against fritz5
and anand does not know Rebel10 so he cannot prepare the plan of the game
at home(he could against fritz5)
