Ok, I will bite... 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.
