 I doubt if there is a great deal of difference in playing strength between
Fritz6 and Rebel Century overall.Of course each programme handles particular
positions in their own way but in battles across the board on the same hardware
I doubt whether either programme would demonstate clear superiority over the
other.
 Anand is an intelligent person and would undoubtedly arrive at the same
conclusion so my guess is that money has changed hands!
