[From the Rebel Site:]

In all 8 games Rebel played very attractive chess resulting in a 5 -3 victory
for Rebel. Spectators said that Rebel played very human alike and that they
hardly could believe a computer was playing these games. This was perhaps the
best compliment the Rebel-team got since this has been the goal of Rebel since
its birth 17 years ago.

The experimental ANTI GRANDMASTER software worked very well against Anand. In
all 8 games Rebel was able to create chances and wasn't strangled as we have
seen in the past when computers played against strong Grand Masters. No, in most
of the games it was Rebel who took the initiative and dictated the game.

Anti-GM is a new exciting development which has a great future and potential. It
was tried against Anand as first human chess player and it worked. Anti-GM will
be developed further in the future as it is expected to gain even more playing
strength when facing the world human chess top.

In about 2 months (september / october) we will release Rebel 10.0 and it will
have the SAME chess engine that has played Vishy Anand so you will be able to
find out yourself about ANTI-GM.

[End of snip from Rebel site.]

So how is 1.5 - 0.5 there? I count _eight_ games. Do you even know what the hell
you are talking about most times between your rants and raves?
