I can across a web page, which has now been shut down that had Rebel 10 and some
other chess programs which were cracked and were  there for everyone to
download.
As you see you can download Rebel 10 for 2.5 megs without the large opening book
and such it is not a big program for a high quality chess engine, So yes Rebel
10 will be cracked, it is illogical not to think it will not be. But these are
the risk one takes when they write a program.

I know many sites where you can get a crack for just about any shareware program
on the net. This is the norm these days. It is just up to the integrity of the
person as to whether or not they use a pirated or cracked program.
