I was surprised by Loek's stubborness to win the game after all. Then after move 92..Bd2 (or so) I suddenly saw Rebel's score rising and rising and thought Rebel got nuts or something was wrong with the hardware. Nothing was wrong of course only that the white king was moving to meet its collegue and knock it down. A crazy game it was... I have to go now, 17 minutes left before game 2. Keep your fingers crossed... Ed
