I got a tip from a colleague programmer there is also an overclocked AMD K6-400 machine available. See: http://www.kryotech.com I will try to get this machine for the match as Rebel runs 25-30% faster on an AMD processor than on a Pentium. There is no incentive money involved for this match whatever the outcome. No need to extra stimulate Mr. Anand :)) The Rebel-Anand pages are under construction at the moment. I like to add more information such as a short bio of Anand and some games of Anand. The Anand games are already available (1150 currently) and can be directly downloaded from: www.rebel.nl/download/anand.zip If you want these 1150 Anand games you have to enter the above address manually as there is no link yet. - Ed Schroder - > I might as well make a prediction. 2.5-1.5 for Rebel in >the 5 min blitz, 1-1 in the 15 min games and 2-0 for Anand in the >40/2.
