Could be. Still, I didn't see any mention of the names of Fritz 7, Shredder 6,
or Century 4 for example, so it could easily be a standard version of one of
them. Since it would be far less surprising to see a new version of Fritz make
the top of the list, I'm presuming that isn't the program and will go for Rebel
here. Still, the results aren't very meaningful yet. Explorer's great feat was
to completely wipe out Gandalf 4.32 after 40 games, whereas only 3 other 10-game
matches were played with nothing too unusual happening. It's impressive, no
doubt, but not conclusive. I remember Fritz 5.32 gaining a bucketload of rating
points on the SSDF by doing a similar feat against a version of Mchess Pro.
