Hi Hans, sorry I missed this. I went back and tracked it down. Here is
the line:

25.  h2-h4              [  1.01] 25. Ke2 Rc2+ 26. Kd3 Rd2+ 27. Kc3

You described the analysis timing set at 15 min./ply. I'm not familiar
with what this means. Is it 15 min per move?

I noticed Rebel 8 wanted to play Ke2 for a while but switched over to h5
and held on to h5. When does the King play Ke2? Does it hold on to it also?
