You cannot decide by one bad game that a program is not grandamaster. By this logic kasparov is not a grandmaster based on his last game against deeper blue. Saying that Rebel is a grandmaster does not mean that it is going to beat van wely because van wely is better than the average grandmaster. I predicted 2.5-1.5 for Van wely and we are going to know if my guess was right or wrong after the next 2 games. Uri
