You are probably right Michael. Those moves 20...Nb6 and 21...Bg6 do seem to
give Ruffian a lot of play on the Kingside. I have four copies of Q5T running in
ECTool now, -which by the way is not possible with Rebel 12 under ChessPartner
running at the same time, it totally freezes the system if only one DOS-box with
Rebel under ECTool is added, Sorry Lex, no error messages only Ctrl-Alt-Del will
help in most cases so I can end CP as a task (After which I get the message,
translated from Dutch "This program (i.e. ChessPartner) does not react, it has
ended or it is waiting for input, do you want to terminate this task now?
Unstored data will be lost" -. Q5T would also have played 20...Nb6 after a while
and sees no difficulties ahead, +0.34, expecting the white Queen to go to b3 for
some reason:

Last Move : 20.Nfd2 (Black to play)

At least Rebel 12 seems to be consistent in its evaluation here, with the Rebel
Century 2.0 Q5T personality chosing the same move, so I hope Ed can tweak a
little with the evaluation terms to get Rebel to choose a different move?
21.Qf3 seems a logical reply to 20...Nb6, 20...Nf6 21.Nxf6 Qxf6 22axb4 -Black
having not much compensation for the pawn- is maybe what I'd expect to be played
but I haven't got my GM title yet...

In the game, if not 37...Bxb5 but 37..Ra2 38.Qe5 Qxe5 39.dxe5 Bxb5 40.Ne6 or
40.gxf4 for instance is lost also for Black.

says Rebel Q5T #1 of 4]
