I think that maybe other programs are progressing faster lately. Also maybe the GM´s participating in Rebel´s GM match are learning Rebel´s weaknesses form former matches and exploiding this. Nevertheless seeing Rebel missing a mate in 7 in one of Enrique´s matches is something that should be fixed, I suppose. Ernst-J.
