I have to agree. A healthy Rebel 10-5 that wasn't playing lemons like Ra2 (forget which move) or the terrible Rg4, just to name a couple, wouldn't have lost the extra p quite so quickly IMHO. Full credit to Hoffman though. He pounced on Rebel's errors swiftly and accurately. I hope to see them paired up again sometime. Regards Peter
