First, I did not include the Hoffman game because it was not completed. I do not think FIDE would include incompleted games in a rating calculation. Second, my list had a draw and a win against Grabliauskas whereas yours had a draw and a loss. If you are correct, the score would have been 10-10. With an even score against an average opponent rating of 2510 I arrive at a rating for Rebel of 2510. This would be somewhat more questionable than the 2545, but still above the 2500 mark. A 2510 mark would still place Rebel at the 356 position among the 650 living grandmasters. Granted that some of these are over the hill. However, I doubt seriously that 300 of them were! It will be extremely interesting to see what happens when Rebel-Tiger competes against them on a 1Ghz machine. In my opinion the top micros will be playing on such machines by the end of the year 2000, and will by playing at about 2575 Elo.
