The program is indicating it is "much stronger" at Computer vs Computer Games.
Computer vs Human is a different thing altogether.

Ed has been explaining on his web pages for more than a year now that his aim is
to improve Rebel's ability against Humans.  He held a Poll and his customers
indicated they were very happy with that direction.

There are settings which make Rebel stronger in Computer v Computer games, for
instance (to put it crudely) Rebel 10c is "tuned" to beat computers while Rebel
10b uses more knowledge & therefore gets less depth & is supposedly better
against Humans than 10c.

Computer vs Computer is a very convenient thing to do, we can all do it at home.
 I believe that what really matters in the long term is Computer vs
Grandmasters. & I applaud Ed for Leading that Challenge.
