My own opinion would be:
1) Shorter time controls for the games with rebel.
2) Anand is likely more familiar with Fritz, though I am not sure he is with
this specific version or it's opening book.
3) Clearly a computer will score better at lower time controls, as I recall 4 of
the rebel games were 5 minutes. It is likely that fritz would also win 5 min
games by the same score rebel did.
4) The big one, over so few amount of games the results of both in terms of a
comparison cannot be taken with anything other than a pinch of salt.
