That is usually *easy* to do. THe >hard part is to make it play *winning* moves... :) Okay, but if the move Bh6 is better than Rxe6, then I do not know why Rebel won't play Bh6 after one or two minutes of calculation. I think Ed Schroder believes that the move Rxe6 is a better anti-grandmaster move for instance in hope to make Black becoming tangled. However, it sounds to me that the move Rxe6 is subject to controversy; it looks like "chicken-egg cycle." It seems too difficult to know for sure whether or not Rxe6 is a good anti-grandmaster move right now. Anyway, the anti-grandmaster features in Rebel10 are just an experiment. I hope the anti-grandmaster chess software which Ed created would beat Vishy Anand in July. I think that if the anti-grandmaster features are good, Ed would retain them in Rebel10. Otherwise they would be thrown away. Correct me if I am wrong. Eran
