Rebel 12 and other chess interfaces
===================================

. The Rebel 12 chess engine may be used under other chess interfaces
  which support the Winboard protocol. THIS IS HOWEVER NOT ADVISED
  as the author does not guarantee the engine's proper behaviour
  under any other gui apart from Chess Partner.

  Rebel 12 should run smoothly under the latest Chessbase interface
  provided the following steps are taken:

. Copy the installed Rebel 12 directory to the installed
  ChessBase directory, usually C:\Program Files\ChessBase\Engines

. Should the OS be Windows XP, then edit the file WB2UCI.ENG (this
  freeware tool is supplied by Odd Gunnar Malin and is not supported
  by the author of Rebel) as follows:

  Change "TerminateHard = false" to "TerminateHard = true" and save
  the file.

. Start Chessbase (Fritz, Junior, Shredder etc.) and select:
       Engine -> New UCI engine -> Browse -> RebelUCI.
  That's it! Rebel 12 may now be used in the ChessBase gui.

. Please note that UCI support was introduced in the latest versions of
  the Chessbase programs.

. Many thanks go to Odd Gunnar Malin who made this wonderful freeware
  tool available!
