Hello Howard,
I went back and put Rebel 10 on infinite to run move 59 again.  It took 3:34 to
make the move 59.Bg4.  It was 9.03 ply and the score was 0.06. It was 59. Bc6 up
to that point with a score of 0.04.   And yes I find these two programs predict
each others moves at a seemingly high rate.  I don't document this kind of thing
anymore.  I found that when I played crafty 16.0 against Rebel they seldom
predicted each others moves (In contrast).  I played them at Game/30 though.
