I have The Chessmachine card and program. that program is a 1991 era program. a very good program for its day but not near as good as rebel8 or rebel9. But if i made the chessmachine play only the 1 out of 100 openings that I know will beat Rebel8 I would show that The Chessmachine is much better. (untill I get on ICC and get crushed)
