Rebel 8 has such lines against MChess too. In one of my tournaments it played a
french opening against MChess Pro 5 completely out of book up until the point
where MChess saw the mate against itself...

By the way, I love both programs, these are my favourites, so please don't
misunderstand me. No war please ;-)
