I will consider this. Rebel had +0,00 for some time while Virtual insisted on
+0,80 to +1,00.
Usually I am right in my evaluation of such positions, but I had a similar
situation yesterday when Rebel vs. Fritz looked even more like a draw, yet Fritz
managed to win.
So probably my feeling has left me. :)
I will give this some thoughts and probably continue the game sometime next week
(fortunately, I keep track of the reflection times at the end of each game, so
it's going to be easy to play on).

Thanks to both of you for your comments,
