I've had no problems at all, at installation shortcuts are created that work
perfectly - there are instructions on how to adjust the shortcut for default
hash and in case of Vesa video problems.  Being Dos it's not as pretty as Fritz
- have a browse around http://www.rebel.nl/edindex.htm to see lotsa information.

The other good thing about Rebel is all the free stuff (databases, utilities,
personalities etc) they give to registered users, & they have a users forum.
The website always discusses what is coming up (unlike Chessbase where upgrades
appear with no information)

I mainly use Hiarcs732 (Fritz532 GUI) & I consider that Hiarcs makes the best
moves for analysis, if you give it time.  Fritz is "best" against computers, but
the jury is well out on which prograsm is best against humans.

I have no affilliation with Rebel, I just like the program and their excellent
website and information.

Cheers,
Tina
