Has anyone else seen this at all ? Ignore the "bench test" in version 10c. It will produce incompatible results with the original Rebel10 and 10b chess engine. The bench test is based on Rebel10's function "combination=on" that loads a special tactical search only valid for positions and its first computed move (see the manual). This has all changed in Rebel10.0c as now "combination= on" is also valid for the whole game. The new "combination=on" is much more careful with extensions in order to get a reasonable depth while playing normal games. Note that the bench test isn't about solving positions. The 3 positions were carefully chosen at the time to produce an accurate bench number which is valid for the Rebel10 chess engine. Now that we have version 10c (which is totally different) it would have been better to remove the bench test or rewrite the thing. Ed Schroder
