If the anti-grandmaster features in Rebel10 are turned off, will Rebel10 play Bh6 after one or two minutes of calculation? Actually Rebel9 did not play Bh6, and I don't know whether Rebel10 will play it. If Bh6 is the best move, why won't Rebel9 play it? Remember I am not grandmaster now. When I will play against Rebel10, the anti-grandmaster features should be turned off and Rebel10 should play the best move Bh6. Is that right? :) I am only interested in any chess program that does play the best moves. Eran
