I think Anand may very well be the best player in the world against
computer programs. To find a GM that is so familiar with programs you
have to step down to Illescas, Benjamin or Nunn. On top of it, he is
very strong at blitz. In my opinion, this is the whole point and not
whether or not he is second or third in Elo scales. Anand is the
toughest opponent for any program and Rebel better have lots of soups
before the match. :)
