But then agree to Bob's other statement on this issue too: No program is near to 2600 at 40/2. I noticed a lot of people hoped that and actually expected that for Rebel. We have to have a few more years patience I fear before you see Rebel hitting 2600 but it will come as the rating of about 2500 is more ore less a fact now and frankly I am very pleased with that. Soon the Israeli League will start. 3 top programs will play at 40/2. In May of this year when each program will have played 11 games we will know a lot more. Ed
