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.
