ah - yes.

its one of the rebel XP pages

http://www.thorstenczub.de/rebelxp.html
and followers of that page.

BUT i am not 100% sure if Rebel12 still uses the same
switches.
could be that ed has different switches now in rebel12.

so be careful. a style working in rebel XP GUI
could produce different results in Rebel12 GUI
since the kernel is different.

we would have to ask ed about this.

yes. we will find out.
we have time.

and it makes fun.

i am frequently updating the % results of rebel12.

beta 5 plays really strong against rebel.eng.

we will see how those engines play against fritz.
