The current version of REBEL10 is version REBEL10.0c and is released on February 27, 1999.
REBEL 10.0b
Update for REBEL10 owners. The update besides having fixed some bugs contains a few extra new features. The list:
- Added support for the Saitek Kasparov external chess board.
- Added support for the Mephisto external chess board.
- Added an automatic game annotator while playing your games.
- Added STRONGEST SETTINGS option. This will automatically set REBEL10 on its strongest settings for maximum playing strength.
- Added SAVE ENGINE SETTINGS. On request REBEL10 will save all settings of the engine.
- Better (more precise) ELO calculation during program launch for rated games.
- Added (command line) parameter "S" to bypass the --press a key-- message during program launch.
REBEL 10.0c
Update for REBEL10 owners.
REBEL10.0c is a chess engine update only. There are no new features added to the GUI.
What is new in the engine?
- The first fruit of the REBEL-TIGER approach. This engine feature will make Rebel10 2½ times faster in ply-depth. The feature is available from the new pull down item System Tiger.
- Improved hash table algorithm. This new algorithm will work out positively especially in the end-game.
- Improved tactics introducing new extensions.
- The feature COMBINATION is drastically changed. When set to ON "combination" is valid for the "whole game" now but is more careful with all the extra extensions because of that.
- No AUTO232 support yet. It's our understanding Rebel10 performs better playing games manually then when with AUTO232 (playing automatic games on 2 Pc's). However if we find out what's going on with AUTO232 we will release another patch.
- Option Brute Force in the pulldown menu OPTION is replaced with System Tiger. If you miss the option "Brute Force" then use "Selection=1" which practically is about the same.
- For serious games use REBEL10's default engine settings. The option is available from the pulldown menu OPTION using "Strongest Settings".
- For computer-computer games set System Tiger to ON.
