I think that Deep Blue is still better. Every programmer know that when you have
more computing power, often it is necessary to adjust the program a bit to take
the full advantage. And 1000 x is a huge speed up. (Another example I learn from
here is that Genius is stronger at slower hardware, and having hard time compete
with null mover at fast hardwares. So maybe we need something else than Rebel's
algorithm or null mover to take this 1000x advantage. Personly I will definetely
try more along selective extension than selective reducing if I have such
computing power)

In fact you can find this out by some experiment. Why don't you select some
hard/interesting moves from DB-GK match and post it here. And let the people who
happen to own Rebel 10 to run it at longer time, say 3 minutes x 1000? And then
we can compare who's move is really better. Maybe there are enough people here
who is willing to run those positions.
