Genius I used a lot when tried my mate solving logic and I like this game very much. It make almost no mistake and take any position. Rebel I bought recently and was amazed by openness of "his talking to people" and also by his stability. I asked him to solve only few positions for mate, some fantasy position that make other excellent game die on the spot, but nothing happened to him. Rebel, like Genius, had no allergic reaction.
