Regarding its strength it is estimated as somewhat stronger than the current REBEL 12 (DOS) beta-1 version. You can load all the known and/or self created personalities. It's limitations are mainly the not yet fully tuned time-levels. It means that so now and then Rebel will lose some games on time. Another limitation is the lack of learning, this also still need to be done. Keep both limitations in mind when pitting this pre-release against other chess programs. Although the engine is programmed using the so called Winboard Protocol it does not function quite well under other chess interfaces. There are no plans to make REBEL 12 fully compatible with other chess interfaces. This program will expire on September 30, 2003. Known problems. - Timelevels may not work correctly. - Analysis mode does not work. - Mate in # and stalemate is not always correctly reported. which may cause autoplayed games to stop or no move is given. - Nodecounters not always correct. - Bookmoves not displayed. - When starting the engine the windows swapfile grows with 500-700 MB, this normally won't affect operation but it does mean you need at least 1 GB free harddisk space. Under XP the effect can be seen from the windows taskmanger." <snip>
