Sure Uri, but most of the times Rebel is not so rash in the opening. And if
Jeroen Noomen just puts one move against 1.h2-h4 in Rebel's book that does say
something to me about Rebel's ability to handle this on its own. Just my
personal opinion. And I am a bit limited in my arsenal of other programs to
test. So that I admit does not say anything about other programs, I would like
to know what Hiarcs or Junior would play at long time controls here, sure.
