It tries to keep the initiative against humans. It tried to achieve this goal
partially e.g. by playing creative sacrifices, placing rooks on strategically
important lines ... Because it's not easy to tell if e.g. a sacrifice will prove
to be beneficial in the end, the default setting for anti-GM is "smart" which
tries to make "creative" moves only when it seems to be "save" to do this (i.e.
when enough preconditions in a certain position are met, the anti-GM evaluation
will be used at strong or active setting).

For some example positions see Ed's site (www.rebel.nl) or my overdue ;-) review
of Rebel 10 (to be released soon ...).
