I just recently acquired Rebel Century. I have had no trouble installing or running it and I am impressed with it overall. But I did come across a little pitfall when I began to experiment with the various chess personalities in the pulldown menu Extra under Define Personality. I discovered that upon exiting Define Personality and returning to the board it is not enough to set it at its strongest settings via the Option menu. Before exiting Define Personality, you must load the Rebel Personality. If you do not, if for example you leave Define Personality with the Novice Personality showing, and set the strongest settings in the Option menu, it will look like you are playing Rebel Century at its strongest (the Option menu will show the normal personality) but in fact you will be playing the Novice Personality regardless of what the Option menu says. This could lead to some disappointing results of course. So be warned. If you experiment with selecting or creating personalities under the Extra menu, reload Rebel before you go back to the Board,or you may be fooled into thinking it is not a strong program. At its default settings, it appears to me to be extremely strong. eric
