If people that love Rebel don’t get their full functioning Rebel back and stop this silliness now that the war is over. The only atomic bomb that is going to be dropped is our own, and Rebel will not like the fallout. I know that others feel as I do. We love Rebel and did not care what Chessbase did or what SSDF did, but supported Rebel because Ed felt he had to take this stand. Now support us, and give us autoplayer support in Rebel 10. Why do you want to keep your customers from having this now, the war is over. Do not compound someone else’s error. We are not fans of Fritz or Chessbase, we are long time fans of Rebel and would like to have it back now.
