But I suggest you read my Post carefully before you dismiss what I say. First of All I said, that if you take the Results of ALL (not just rebel) the programs you easily get grandmaster strength. So my statements have been consistent I have never wavered for a moment, My beef from the start was that everyone was taking just the results of rebel and excluding the results of the other programs as if they don't exist. In my opionion this is rediculous, and is what should not be taken seriously. If you take the results of all the programs then we do have enough games. After all the original question was not whatever or not Rebel was a grandmaster, but whatever programs are grandmasters. So if you can't take the 2570+ results of the combined performance of all the programs seriously that's your problem Mr. not mine. What's silly about the whole thing is you would think a programmer such as yourself would want to see a grandmaster performance, you act as if you want rebel to fail or something. Every comment I make in the positive, here you come with a negative. As to your comments about rebel losing, Everyone here including Dr. Hyatt comments that the game against hoffman should not be counted, so I have no idea what your talking about, maybe you just have an axe to grind with me??? For god knows what reason???
