It is definetely stronger and, what is more, sharper. With rebel 9, 10 or whatever you are usually defeated, yes, and maybe all the time, BUt the difference is the way Century defeats you. You get troubles almost at once. Rebel 9 or 10 more or less kept a solid game waiting your mstake; Century pressures you to commit mistakes. It is desperating. The lesser imprecision in your openning takes you to the killing path and not because Centry has a deeper book, but because it handles much better the continuation of book lines. He knows what to do to get the most from your position and of his position. fernando
