I am afraid I find the tone of your post to be rather snotty.

I am sure Ed would agree that people who have purchased his engine can do as
they wish with it.

I wish to test purely the engine's playing skills and not the effect of "killer
books".

I have enormous respect for Ed as a programmer and Rebel as an engine.

Please treat my Subject line as a broadsheet-style "attention grabber". It
merely reflects the results of a particular match.

The 120+0 match is underway.
