Michael Your result with Rebel 10 in this position surprised me.Admittedly my mc. is only a Pent mmx166 but the Rebel10 download could not find Bxd6 in the 10 minutes I gave it whereas the cm6000 found it immediately.I had intended to buy Rebel10 but I've changed my mind after putting it through a series of positional tests which it did badly on.One has already been listed the others are available on request.Perhaps the upgrade Rebel10c is significantly better than the 30 day download.
