Gambit Tiger 2.0 versus the WEB


Weekly prizes to win! Each week a winner is chosen. A winner is the one with the highest percentage of correct voted moves. If the percentage is equal the winner is chosen randomly. Winners may pick a REBEL product of their choice from the Rebel Store. Winners can win only once during the match.

A one time overall prize, the beautiful external wooden DGT chess board (approximately $400) kindly offered by DGT Projects from the Netherlands.

The DGT chess board is approved and used by the FIDE during major GM chess tournaments. The DGT external chess board is compatible with the update of Rebel 11.0 and adds a new dimension to play chess against, or with Rebel 11.0.

The winner of the DGT external chess board is the one with the highest percentage of correct voted moves. The calculation for this prize will start on April 2, the release date of the major free update of Rebel 11.0.
