Unlike "Joe Blow's" tournament, where the results are based upon rapid time controls, little is learned by the result. Were "Joe Blow" to replay his tournament, there'd be different results and still there's be no value added. Instead, I was highly impressed by your NBE Tournament and the previous one that tested positions selected bt GM Nunn. To my way of seeing things, one can draw meaningful conclusions from the results of your tournaments regarding the strong/weak points of various engines. Thank you for sharing your results with us, Kurt. Thanks too for trying to test Rebel. That's an engine that doesn't get enough good PR. While I think the engine isn't on the same level as Shredder 7.04 and a few others, it has a wonderfully human playing style and finds human-like moves at longer time controls. I wouldn't be a bit surprised, given it's strenth at longer time-controls, if just a little modification (perhaps a faster search speed) by Ed would push it over the edge and onto the top tier with Shredder, etc. Happy Holidays! Stephen
