I also downloaded (and bought for $5 dollars on CD), the Rebel Decade CD. I also have been buying Rebel since version 7. I only use Rebel Decade now because Rebel9 (and 8, and 7), always seemed to find a place to 'hang' in W/95 (don't know about W/98 yet), irregardless of which Rebel9 shortcut I placed on the desktop. But Rebel Decade (after the 'nag' screens), is always a pleasure to play. Also when I make a move it starts analysing right away, whearas with Rebel9 the programs seems to stop for a few moments (after book), and play dead before finally excuting a move. I'm sorry Ed, but the reason I've been buying your program for the last 3 years has more to do with liking your great company, and the free bonus disk that you usaully give out to early subscriber's, then with how well the program has been working on my computer. I await anxiously your windoz version (even in Beta), as I fully enjoy Fritz5, Genius 5 gold and to some extent Chess Master 5500 right now. Of course I'm a Chess Base user too, and I put up with that crappy dongle for years! :) mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict! > I recently downloaded Rebel decade 2.0.

Does any one know what the significant differences are between >rebel decade and Rebel 9? Also how does rebel decade compare with other freeware >programs such as Crafty, and Tiger? I am mostly concerned with strength.
