Maybe you should turn it around, and prove for yourself if Rebel 8 is the
stronger one.

Let us assume that Rebel 8 and Century have basicaly the same engine, the
tuneability of Century has the potential to make it stronger than Rebel 8.

Just to tune the "selectivety" and "knowledge" (lazy eval) parameters, together
with the "search technique" can keep me busy every time and most of the times
gives the result I´m looking for.

It does not play better mostly, but solves problems better.  Long time analysing
is what I mostly use my programs for.
