This is correct. Rebel8 was beating MCP4/5 with 6-0 in this opening. Then MCP played 8.- c4 9.Be2 0-0 10.h4 f5 11.Qg3 Qa5 12.Bd2 Qa4 13.Bd1. When MCP6 arrived we saw the topic line for the first time. Except for a difference from move 33. But MCP6 won two games against Rebel8 in 47 moves. All 8 games are in our databases. He asked Marty if he found them. :-) >So probably YOU have found at least one of them. :-) >As far as I get MCP8 I'll check some other loosing lines too to see if Sandro >took them out. > >>By the way, I love both programs, these are my favourites, so please don't >>misunderstand me.
