Hi Thorsten
"Will see" is correct because of only 17 games played [120'/40] it's
simply too early to say something concrete. What I can however say for
sure is that Rebel 12 beta1 is indeed a very strong engine. And it's free!!
Many thanks to Ed Schröder for this DOS program that can be handled almost
like a windows program. Anyway, I like the positional and sound playing
style of Rebel 12 and the well tuned opening book. The program is not a
tactical monster but sometimes finds most surprising moves that other
engines do no see or can't evaluate correctly. And considering the fact
that Rebel 12 works without EGTB the program plays the endgame very well.
These are my first impressions.
