I think Rebel's default settings through the years vary from 90-95% being optimal. I claim that the same also counts for very other chess program. HINT: count the number of reactions from my colleagues :-) I think that with Rebel's new engine concept it is possible to come to 95-98% which can mean an elo improvement from 30-50-70 points. I think that more is not realistic and I will be very satisfied if Rebel will gain 30 elo points. I also think it is possible NO improvement will be found. Well... if you don't try you never know of course. Ed Schroder >Uri
