Wel using subvariation chessbase is a litltle more clear but Chesspartner does
read and make them.
(You have to play with the player settings Computer human human computer.
and take back moves)
Some of my coleges did not want to use Rebel just because it did not make
subvariations by it self
I always used Fritz4 5 or 5.32 or Junior 4 5 in the back ground
Because Fritz6 or 7 and Junior 6 or 7 have this bad part that the engine must
run when making  moves wich also is anoying if you don't want that engine to
analyse the position.

So under chesspartner it is a bit confusing in this mather but it does work.
