Hello Aloisio, It may be that Ruffian is just a better Blitz player. I know that Ed never was very interested in Rebel playing fast blitz games. You could probably optimize Rebel for very fast timecontrols, maybe by lowering some Chess Knowledge for instance. From your account it isn't very clear though if your Rebel gets in trouble with the openings it plays, or if it loses on time. If you can show a few sample games that might help. About the time control, there you could build in that Rebel thinks it has a little less time for the game than it actually has on the server, that is a question of experimenting with the time settings and/or maybe some personality settings. (See the versions of Thorsten's Macheides on how you can influence how Rebel divides its time: http://f50.parsimony.net/forum200336/messages/569.htm This does not give a possibilty to build in some reserve time though. Unfortunately there is not yet much documentation on the latest personality features that are possible) But of course Rebel should not lose on time. I don't know if it is related but when I looked in ChessPartner the chess clock registers more elapsed time than Rebel does in its Search Info window. Things to consider includes possibly some things like transmission times when playing on Internet and times for Rebel to start up the calculations, but if Rebel thinks it has used less time than it shows on the clock in ChessPartner -ChessPartner or the ICC, I don't know exactly how it works as I don't play on ICC and such-, it might of course lose on time that way.
