I am hoping to see other's:) So if I had the 'cold cash' to bet, I would bet it on Rebel 10.5, even though I like Mike, and hope he upsets my pridiction... Mrslug's pridiction: 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 is going to be crushed by Rebel 10.5 in this first match being played May 22, 1999. have reason to believe that he has done little or no preperation for this match. (There is only a little time left, Mike). Rebel 10.5 of course, will be on a beefy platform, 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, at slower time controls, will matter against the powerfull American GM. I hope I am wrong. I hope Mike kicks it's butt, but I don't think that is going to happen. I pridict Rebel will have a won game before move 30. 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.
