Once more, I agree with you. Personally, I would count this games to make an elo
calculation, but since Rebel company is not oficially involved in this match, it
would be irresponsible to even suggest the games should be taken into account.
Rebel didn't endorsed this match and there's nothing we can do. In insist:
personally, I would take this games very seriously, since nothing but love for
chess and computer chess is involved.
