I posted this game about one and a half years ago. So you can attach my name
the next time you post it :-) When I posted the game, I writing how it could
defeat Rebel on my computer at the time an obsolete Pentium 100mhz. I
complained about Rebel taking only 30 seconds to play the losing Qxc7 move.
This was explained by Rebel author Ed Shroeder that Rebel has a piece recapture
algorithm that forces the program to take substantially less time when having to
recapture a piece. I disagreed that this timing algorithm should be in place
for this type of position because it involves a tremendous material and
positional imbalance and is not just simply recapturing a piece. Ed mentioned
that having this algorithm in place didn't usually hurt Rebel and that customers
appreciated that Rebel would almost instantly recapture a QxQ move or the like.
With the advent of the more powerful Pentiums, Rebel no longer falls for this
trap dispite the timing algorithm.

I think you are being overgenerous by giving Nd5 an exclam. Nd5 !? is more
appropriate.
>6. d3! Nxf2
d3 doesn't deserve an exclam. More appropriate and fun to put d3!!??
>7 Qe2 Nxh1
>8. Ng5! O-O ?
Agreed.
>9. Nxc7! Q x c 7
Qxc7 obviously deserves a ?? because it causes a forced mate. How nice of you
to give me four exclams in the first nine moves :-)
