Absolute nonsense. Loek tried to get a kind of closed game, perfectly playable against computers. Unfortunately for Loek it didn't work, as Rebel conducted a brilliant attack. And what should Loek have played instead of the French in your opinion? I can assure you that a Sicilian Najdorf would have been crushed. I was fully prepared for that. As I was against the french, the caro kann. I really didn't expect Loek to play 1 e4 e5, but I had something there as well. Vincent, you are making simple talks, but it is very easy to say after the game has been played. If Loek would have won, you would tell CCC that you knew this line would be a 100% win for Loek :-) >I can't remember i *ever* >drew a similar setup where i gave the thing options to either >win queen side AND attack my king. You kind of *force* them to >attack king side, which nowadays they all do. Again nonsense. The way Rebel played it was GM-style. Show me the programs that would have played the same. All in all you just say that Loek played badly. How simple to put it that way. Typical for Dutch, isn't it!? IMO Rebel played an excellent game, posed Loek numerous problems and won deservedly. Period. >Which in fact happened. With the known result. Yeah, when you know the result, it is easy talking :-) >Loek obviously tried this setup the first time in his life, otherwise >he would not have chosen it. Loek plays French regurarly these days. 3 Nd2 can't be a surprise, so he must have tried it at home. >so the assumption he knows something about the thing is exaggerated. >All he knows is that it is a machine. You know much about Loek, did you have a talk with him in which he confirmed this? Or is it just Diepenveen speculation :-) >I bet he never installed Rebel Century, but only Rebel Tiger. I didn't >figure it out either until Jan Louwman told me Rebel Century was still >alive :) Same comment as above. Why dear Vincent, can't you just say one time 'yes, the computer was better this game'? Is this a bit difficult for you!? Never mind, I don't blame you :-)) Jeroen
