Well, I would not put to much stock in this one game. Rebel 10 played I think
the best player when playing against computer programs. Also again it seems
Rebel 10's bug?? or huge tactical hole in its program that I have talked about
before came up and bit Rebel 10 hard again. As in my computer vs computer games
Rebel 10 gets a advantage only to play a stink bomb that other programs see in
seconds. This counts for most of Rebel 10 losses in the games I have played with
it against other programs. I hope this loss will get Ed on the ball to fix this
weakness.
