A game Rebel played (so no, 'Rebel will never get into this position' defense).
It was a 20/0 against Shredder 7.04 on pretty impressive hardware.
Top-of-the-line Opteron system with Windows 2003 (64-bit version, I am
guessing).
I don't see how white can overcome the material difference. And neither can any
of the chess programs I've tested with.
