Game 1 was very strange. Van had a safe draw, but he went for some crazy moves, and after this he had to resign :) Game 2 was very disappointed for me :( but i must said that Van Wely play very nice with White pieces. Game 2 the position was typical of Anticomputer Chess, and Rebel can´t play it different. You can see also GM Dzindzi at ICC go for a win against Crafty in similar games like this. :( We need to wait what happen in the next games. Van Wely is a very strong opponent, but i think that Rebel will show us, very good games ;) We will see... Tanya
