The 5 playing styles in Rebel are mainly mobility related. The 5 playing styles are tuned for not too much ELO loss in regard to the default setting PLAYSTYLE=NORMAL which is the strongest setting. I disagree with you that there are not so much differences. From tests I have done in the past I remember that changing playing styles will result in different moves in 25-30% of cases. I am working right now on a anti-Anand piece of software. The goal is to undermine Anand's preparation on Rebel. I will include it as an option in Rebel10. For the moment testing this option I do not recognize my good old Rebel any more......... - Ed - > Best regards, > FB
