My opinion was that your playing technique was the reason Rebel was in time trouble (not the H/W). I think this is a good example of how to prepare and execute against an opponent, in this case Rebel 9. I agree that the sacrafice was an error (although I often make the same type of error since I like to play agressive, pays off alot also looses a lot). :) I think you created a lot of tactics and opening challenges for Rebel 9.
