My prediction is a big win for GM Anand. I Think Rebel will be lucky to
score one win in the match. This is not to say that Rebel is weak, but
GM Anand knows how to play against computers. Rebels style of play
should not give GM Anand much trouble unless its changed to be a bit
more aggressive. Then it may win some faster time control games. If
Rebel plays its quite style of play I think Anand will eat it alive.
