Thank you Jim.
The Chessbase version of Chess Tiger 15 has exactly the same engine as the
Lokasoft version.
I do not know how CT15 compares to Rebel XP beta 1.
Chess Tiger 15 is rated by the SSDF in third position, below Fritz 8 and
Shredder 7, however it is rated second to Fritz 8 (by a narrow margin) on
Chessfun's list, and I think this list should be taken seriously.
I don't know if they (SSDF and Chessfun) will test the Chessbase version of
Chess Tiger 15, but I think it would be an interesting test. The Chessbase GUI
can have an impact on the playing strength, in particular because of its book
learning algorithm which is maybe superior to the one implemented in the engine
itself, and which is used by the Lokasoft GUI by default.
