Mike Rohde is a great player. I admire him a lot, and think he could beat any computer (Or Human), when in good form, and with reasonable preperation. However, I think he going to be crushed by Rebel 10.5 in this first match. I have reason to believe that he has done little or no preperation for this match. (There is little time left, Mike). Rebel 10.5 of course, will be on a beefy playform, with a lot of Ram. Settings from the Rebel page; Program: Rebel Paderborn edition (workname Rebel 10.5). Opening book: as used in the World Championship in Paderborn. EOC database setting: Use is STRONG. PC: Pentium-II 450 Mhz, 128Mb. Not to mention - Other settings will be revealed during the game. And of course, Rebel has alread 'knocked off', Yusupov & Anand in matches. Of course the only thing we don't know, is if Rebel's slightly weaker performances against the above Human super GM's, will matter against the powerfull American GM. I hope I am wrong. I hope Mike kicks it's but, but I don't think that's gonna happen... Below is the only previous game, played between the two protagonist, that I am aware of. Note that after Mike graps the pawn on a7, Rebel (Even this past, non Anti-Human equiped version), plays with great activity, and grabs control of the game.
