I can't really >understand why a windows-GUI should be a "must". Yes. I like the DOS GUI of Rebel too. As long as a DOS program beats fritz, i don't need windows. a dos program is installed easily. and after a windows crash you don't need to reinstall. when you setup windows from the scratch, you have to reinstall all your 30 windows chess programs. thats really annoying :-(( > >Uli About the new Rebel12 version please look here, beta test running in the moment, looks promising. Beta test diary: http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebel12.html Thanks to Ed for these new ideas. it seems the HOLIDAY from chess programming was really effective !!!
