Thanks for the compliment in the first place. Your observations are very
interesting for me. What in your opinion was it that made Rebel9 so much
better than version 8? Same question for Rebel10 -> Century. I know these
questions are hard to answer because the subjective nature. Keep in mind
you maybe got a faster PC during Rebel9 and Century?

SSDF is important due to the volume of games played. I like to be a part
of it.

Jeroen Noomen played a manual knock-out tournament with several programs
he owns. Rebel-Tiger beat Rebel Century in the final with 3.5-2.5. Jeroen
is preparing a review of his tournament for publication on the Rebel Home
Page in which he will give his impressions of the participants which IMO
says a lot more than the gained rankings. I am very interested in what
Jeroen has to say about Tiger as not much is known yet except that it is
super strong.
