I think the match is not such a good idea. If Rebel wins, then everyone will be
more convinced of the computers superiority. But if Russek wins, then the Rebel
fans will just say you must have messed up the Rebel settings and it can't have
been playing at top strength....

In other words, the human can't win, so the results are not that interesting.
