I did not see results of games against humans and you need many hundreds of
games to prove difference of 20-30 elo against humans.

It is clear that sometimes Rebel10c is better and sometimes Rebel10b is better

I do not think that tactics is unimportant for computers against humans.

Fritz and Junior cannot solve  the nolot test positions in tournament time
control and humans practically found the right moves so sometimes humans see
tactics that computers do not see.
