You know I am always in for a challenge. And the Marshall Chess Club is
quite a name to remember.

Don't tell me about it. The data on the cd is 620 Mb. It was quite difficult to
decide what should be left out as the limit is 640 Mb. How can one handle that
in one year? I wonder. Seems to me DVD has the future and will be required
within 2-3 years.

We shortly discussed the possibility of a re-match. In principal we agreed to
that but of course we have to figure out the details in email first.

About the game: I am pretty impressed by the attacking style. It sacrifices
a piece for a promising king attack. Then later counting the pieces on the
board Rebel is behind a full rook. Still it shows +3.xx, a dream game.
