I can not say how much stronger Rebel 10 is over Rebel 9 yet, but from what I
have seen so far it is stronger. The endgame seems much improved. And it seems
much better at playing other computer programs that are fast searchers, I played
4 off hand games with Junior 5 at game 15min and it is even 2-2.

The program still seems a bit passive when playing humans at fast time controls
on default settings if you blockage the position,(for some reason it like to
trade down in a blocked position) but I have seen more crushing wins in under 20
moves playing average (2000-2200) strong humans then I have seen from must
programs including Fritz 5.
