I think it's not up to me to count or not. I have my own little abacus which
goes a bit further than a won/draw/loss result only. Personally I see no
reason why these games should not be count for a TPR. I am really looking
forward to this match and hope to watch a few games live on ICC.

Vincente if you are reading this: the best settings are:
- default settings + "anti-GM=SMART"
- run Rebel with the "a" and "b" parameter. Example REBEL.EXE A B W8

W8 : hash table size = 60 Mb
A  : Rebel will focus on the opponent clock
B  : Aggressive book-learning (definitely needed in a match)

In case you need help with the book you can contact me by email
(info@rebel.nl) or Jeroen (jnoomen@uni-one.nl).

I hope to see great games!

Ed
