I can't seem to get a single version of Pro Deo (your last prog?) to work in chessbase under vista 64.

Is there any way round this?
I have no idea Carl, I don't have Vista, let alone Vista 64. But as Howard said try Arena.

What improvements have you made to the program in the last four years to justify this high commercial price?
Sean, perhaps you missed the fact that I retired in 2004 and that the marketing for Rebel 12 is the entire responsibility of Lokasoft.

Hi, Rebel might be able to compete against Rybka, but you could always use Rebel 12 for secondary markets, such as the iPod or iPhone or Nintendo DS, etc..

Sorry Ed, but I think this one is flawed:

[d] 6k1/6p1/7p/1P1P4/4q3/1r5P/6P1/3R1Q1K w - - 0 1

white can just win by playing
1Kg1 Qe3+
2Qf2 QxQ
3Kf2 Rb5
4d6 Rb8
5d7 Rd8
6Kf3 / Kg3

and pretty sure that's a win for white
