Kool down KK. I am not blasting Rebel 10 here. I just wanted to see if Rebel 10
could stop this kind of anti-computer play with its anti-gm style. I do not
think anything less of Rebel 10, because I can do the same thing from time to
time with any of the programs I have. I see nothing wrong with having the odds
of playing white when the other player has a rating 1000 points higher then me.
:)

If I did draw Kasparov with a game like that, most people would find it an
achievement, or they would think that Kasparov has just been using a computer
all these years.
