Using the AMD K6-2 500 Mhz on both rebel programs in the semi-finals and first round while the opponents had the 200 mhz mmx machines only leaves the whole tournament open to critique. The fact that you choose to use the Rebel programs on the faster hardware and not do that in another way, such as even tossing a coin. Also the statement: "Of course I had to choose which programs would play on the faster machine. Two of them were out the question for me: My two heroes Rebel and Chess Tiger." Is at first glace misleading IMHO since to me it seems that the statement implies that Rebel and Chess Tiger would NOT get the faster machine, when in fact they did. All in all seems the King 2.54 performed as good as anyone losing only after tie-break on the slower hardware. Thanks.
