• You will love the Friday features, but more info is needed before the download.

  DavyJonesReviewLockerSeptember 29, 2007

  Pros

  I like the idea that Rebel Decade becomes the equivalent to Rebel 10 on Fridays. My understanding is that Rebel 10 is a top 10 chess engine; and if this fact is factual, I think that this is a very cool shareware idea! I just started to become interested in these chess programs/engines, so much so, I am beginning to collect them as one might collect stamps. If this Rebel Decade plays a tough enough game on Fridays, I could see myself purchasing the Rebel 10.

  Cons

  Well I do have a bit of an issue with this software Program. It won't run on my Windows XP. If I was told this before I downloaded it, I wouldn't of wasted an evening trying to figure out how to install this little #!'/*#! <p> <p>"Sorry dudes, I can't make club Roxy's tonight. I know what day it is. I have something I've got to do. Well, if you must know, I have this chess engine to install and I need to check it out. No I have to do it tonight! Now get lost dudes! I'm busy!" <p> <p>You see, it was 9:10pm and I just had to settle a question that was in my mind. I had to install this Rebel Decade 3.0 and run it to see if it would play like Rebel 10 between the hours of 9 to midnight my time, that is Pacific Time. <p> <p>It's ok Window XPers; don't delete your Rebel Decade yet. I think I will figure it out and if I can find a way to contact you, I'll tell you what I did. I'm going to give it more then 1 star even though it killed my Friday night. I have an old computer with Windows 98 (it works great on the 95/98) and though I didn't use engines much in those days, it seemed to be a powerful engine. It actually beat me, but hey, only on Fridays. Again, I plan on using it with my XP rather than setting up my old NetVista; and as I said earlier, I'll try to let you know my results.

  Download the DOS emulator from dosbox.sourceforge.net and you will get Rebel to run from Win2K. Should also work with XP but have not tried it yet.
