Nowaday the speed of an AMD 2000+ XP computer is 4 times faster than what it was in July of 1998 and probably the gain in chess knowledge of Rebel could be estimated by at least 90 points. If Anad is ever matched against Rebel Century again in game in 90 Minutes per side or using the new FIDE time control, I would still think that Anand can still beat Rebel in a match of 5 Games. The paragraph was taken from this webpage http://www.rebel.nl/anand.htm Deep Blue from IBM in 1997 with super fast and special designed hardware (of several million of dollars) hitting 200,000,000 nodes per second (NPS) beat Garry Kasparov with 3½-2½. The main question will be if Rebel on a normal available PC ($2500) hitting 200,000 NPS will be able to set another milestone in chess. PS: I guess the question still remain the same. In time control longer than 90 minutes per side Vishy Anand which is rated 3rd after Kramnik and Kasparov is still too much for any program. Jorge
