It is strange though, must be a defect in the pgn, the game is exactly >how I downloaded it from rebel homepage. IT has white winning, but looking at >the game it's clear that black won. I remember this game as originally being posted as you say,with Rebel as white and Jaquez as black but the organizer of this tournament posted the corrected pgn shortly after the tournament was concluded. I forget his name but be posts here in CCC from time to time. Check out Mark Rawlings recent post. He finds a draw for Jaquez on later in the game with 44. a4 ! So the initial move Bxe4 looks like it would have salvaged a draw in the end for the wily human player.
