But I don't doubt that the strength difference between latest Rebels and i.e. Junior 7/8, F8, S7 etc. is *smaller* than between Kasparov and van Wely, or between Kramnik and van der Wiel, against humans. But the other engines can use SMP in such matches though... it's the same old topic (again). On this occassion I notice that we had a bit too many draws in such matches recently... Rebel-van Wely draw, Fritz-Kramnik draw, Hiarcs-Bareev draw, Junior-Kasparov draw... :-) I don't complain that chess programs are strong enough to regularly draw such matches nowadays, but four in a row surprises me now (with some delay :-).
