Apparently Vincent though Junior played a "human" move. It was rediculous then, and it is still rediculous now. I was observing the event using a free week account on ICC, and I remember the conversation in the channel there. Almost everyone thought Vincent was just bitter over losing. Please do not let that _one_ incident from not allowing Rebel from joining. I certainly can understand that you have other duties to attend to. You are the owner of a chess product company that has many stables to run. I enjoyed watching Rebel and Chess Tiger battle it out for #1 at the Dutch Open this year, and I would love to see them battle it out with the other 44 participants at the CCT4. I do not see your reasons for not entering as excuses. I simply see them as someone who can not due to prior obligations. Happy New Year to you Ed. I hope all goes well for you, and your program in 2002. Rebel has been and always will be my favorite program. It is the main reason I did not upgrade to Windows XP. I play Rebel daily, and I believe it has improved my chess skill level more than any program out there due to it's style of play. +- Kevin -+
