I believe that when Fritz5.32 will be in the ssdf list there will be more programs in the ssdf list and I am not sure if it will be number 1. >in style... >Seriously though, Rebel 10 will have to be tested privately as it will not be on >the next SSDF.

I saw Hiarcs6 does a stupid mistake in not going to a won pawn ending in the CCL games. Hiarcs6 did a draw from a rook endgame with a pawn advantage(I do not know if it could win it) against Junior5 in mclane's tournament. These were 40 moves per 2 hours games. I am not so impressed by Hiarcs6's understanding of endgame. I can only say that it is better than Hiarcs5 that could not win king and rook against king in the ssdf games > I have played it on Chess.Net and do you >have any idea how many times I have seen it swindle a program in the endgame?
