Gunther,

Unfortunately one of those games was mine (Rolling Thunder).  I noticed very
quickly that Slater's program was crippled and added 40 minutes overall to our
game until I had to leave.  I could not abort, adjourn or draw.  I hate to win
in this manner but had no other choice.

Since I play manually I was able to stop play after one game.  The Winboards
kept playing until I interceded with a match offer to halt what was happening.

I must say Rebel played the best I could offer to a draw.  Rebel is a program
that I will not take lightly!!  Nicely done Slater.
