That's interesting. I haven't played many blitz games with Rebel against other top programs, but I remember that Rebel 8 won a blitz tournament which I played last year. You can still find it at Djordje's Chesspages (called "Free progs vs Commercials" in the archive section). Rebel won this tournament very clearly, and I think it may really be one of the strongest blitzers, although I (surprisingly) didn't here much about it's blitz strength yet. The idea to play Rebel against other top programs in blitz (and maybe Genius and CM too) sounds very interesting to me. Maybe I'll start a series of blitz games played on two computers with ponder on, and factor these games into my existing blitz database. Really, that sounds very interesting. Let's see, if F6 and Hiarcs7.32 can stay on top then :) > It's sad to note that tonight the first inkling of >problems with the auto232 (Actually auto232 has a lot of problems) showed up. >Rebel was playing Hiarcs 7.32 and played a stupid move that even I would not >play.

I don't use auto232 for the blitz games (the 5min blitz games are mostly played on one computer using the Fritz interface), but I used it for a few of the 60min games. Just bought auto232 two or three weeks ago (silly me, it's so expensive ;-). I didn't see any anomalies yet, but I watched every game live, that Fritz 6 played via auto232 in these 60min matches. I'm still not sure, if I'll play the Rebel Century vs. Fritz games by hand or by auto232. I guess I'll use auto232, but watch the games live of course (I'm playing these 60min games for my own excitement, nothing else), and stop using auto232 if I see anything suspect. There are enough games already, which I have to play by hand, like the games against CM6000 or Genius 5. Greetings, Heiko.
