1 2 3 Summary > Rebel 9 is the latest and greatest in the impressive series of strong programs released by well-known Dutch chess programmer Ed Schroeder. It can quickly be characterized as being a very strong and active chess engine in a somewhat old-fashioned layout. Its evaluation function is one of the most careful and modest I've seen so far. In many programs, a "+2,00" advantage may not mean much, but in Rebel 9 this is an almost certain sign that you're only wasting your time if you don't resign. :) The great chess knowledge (especially in the endgame), together with its preference for 32 bit CPU's like the Pentium Pro, provide for a Louguet II result of 2530 and helped Rebel 9 reclaim a top 2 position of the SSDF list, just like its predecessor had achieved before. While its chess playing features are undisputed, it lacks quite a bit in the way it presents them to the user. The good news is that the "super war-room" window gives you a deep insight into Rebel's thinking process, from actual, average and maximum ply depth over top 4 PV's to the number of hash hits and the percentage of hash fill degree. 1 2 3 Summary > |
