Yes I do, but it lacks some of the aggression and style of Rebel 12. Although, from what I can see it may be a tad bit stronger.

I prefer Deep Junior 7.0 and now Rebel 12 because they often sac material based on attack possibilities that other engines do not even consider. There is no easy draw! Try to lock the position with Rebel , he will take it personal. Then soon after you will see the sac of one or several minor pieces to smash you happy fortress. This is if you manage to even get one. I prefer to avoid bad chess ideas like that, but it good to know Rebel can deal with them.

If Amir e-mailed me tommorrow, I'd pay full price again for Deep Junior 7.0. Until then I can only hope maybe Ed will get bored and release Deep Rebel 13.0. :)
Thanks for the interesting comments regarding Rebel 12 :D
I have Rebel 12.00.01 but unfortunately it doesn't work under the Arena GUI and Windows XP x64 :cry:
I tried to install it as a winboard and as a UCI engine via the adapter,but no joy....it doesn't fire up....
Any hints will be much appreciated....

I have ProDeo 1.2 and 1.6 wb and rebeluci all play in Arena
vista 32.

Best,

Gerold.

Got the same issue but was able to run it via the Windows XP compatibility mode. Just right click on the rebeluci.exe and in the compatiblity tab just select Windows XP sp2
