	  This is the long awaited windows version of Ed Schröders Rebel
	   program. Rebel 12 comes with the ChessPartner interface. The
	   engine is programmed using the so called Winboard Protocol, this
	   makes it possible to use the engine under other interfaces although
	   it works best under the ChessPartner interface. 
	
	  Rebel is one of the strongest and most complete chess programs in
	   the world and absolute champion providing the maximum information
	   on your screen, the visualization of the internal thinking process
	   of the chess engine (Rebel's brain), more below.

	  Rebel is famous for its playing strength and is feared among the
	   world top chess players, Rebel for example never lost a serious
	   match against the top chess players of the world. Rebel until now
	   played 4 chess matches against Super GM Arthur Yusupov (1997),
	   Super GM Vishy Anand (1998), GM John van der Wiel (2001) and
	   recently against top player Loek van Wely (2002) and only Super
	   GM Loek van Wely was able to hold Rebel on a 2-2 score, Rebel won 
	   the other 3 matches. No other chess program in the world has
	   achieved that result!

	  The chess engine has greatly improved regarding positional
	   understanding of the game of chess, the current version is an
	   even more challenging opponent against strong human chess players.

		  Features:

	  -Average depth : Rebel will maintain the average depth as long
	    as the program is active.

	  -Search efficiency : Measuring Rebel's search algorithm, in
	    general 90% and up is good, below 90% is not so good.

	  -Ponder efficiency : Measuring Rebel's permanent brain guessing
	    the move of the opponent, in general 50% is just great, 60% and
	    up is regarded as very good.

	  -Hash Table Usage : Column one, transpositions found for white
	    in (K)ilobytes, Column 2 is for black, the third column is
	    the percentage of the hash table that is filled.

	  -Time Usage : Rebel's estimated thinking time, the first column
	    is the minimum time, the second column is the expected time
	    when Rebel will move, very handy!

	  -Positions : Column one, total positions searched so far,
	    Column 2, the average number of positions searched per second 
	    also known as NPS (nodes per second).

	  -Full book support, other opening books (even the user-books)
	    can be used. The opening repertoire can be viewed and saved to
	    a textfile. 

	  -Easy creating of EPD and PGN databases. 

		  -Using personalities (or styles). 
	
		  -Full EOC support. 

	  -Limited Rebel database support, import PGN, export PGN, Search
	    Position. The latter is handy for opening study, the current
	    position on the board is searched and games that match are
	    reported and stored into a PGN file. Also the score and
	    percentage are good indicators if the opening you are trying
	    has a good perspective, see the picture.

	  -Search Position is fast, on a XP-2400 it usually searches
	    12,500 games per second. Rebel 12 comes with a standard
	    database of 110,000 games, the average elo rating of the
	    players in the database is over 2500, thus the quality of
	    search results are reliable. However if you purchased
	    CENTURY 4 MEGA that came with 1,500,000 chess games you will
	    have an even better investigation tool in your hands.

	  -Clear Hash Table. 

	  -Extended Learner, this is something new similar to (DOS) CAT
	    approach only better. When the option is active it will add 
	    large parts of games that went well to the opening book or use
	    the data for a faster calculation next times. 

	  -Another fine new feature is that Rebel 12 automatically will
	    store every game it plays in the file allgames.pgn
