Here with Tal 5-Minute net in a fast modern search (Corona Virus Chess). I ran it for 10000 40/10 games against a 3369 ELO pool (one of Ed's testing pools), where it scored 40% do that indicates 3320 Elo or so.
There were so many funny games, I couldn't look at them all, this one I liked:
Edit: attempt successful! Will look at the game later...

the results of Corona Virus Chess are looking very impressive, will it be freely available at some point ?
In my own tests so far Rebel with the Tal10 net was stronger than Tal5, but Rebel 14.1 was clearly stronger than both (in positional tests and in games 10s +1s). I may be mistaken here, however, as there were too few games.

CoronaVirusChess is morphing into Chess System Tal 5 or some number or other. Yes, I will make it available. Timescale unknown.
Tal10MinuteBlitzer should be a bit stronger than Tal5MinuteBlitzer. The reason for releasing four nets was to try and discover what people want. Style? Insanity? Strength? Fun? You tell me ...
The original Rebel14.1 with, I think, the "resume" net that Ed put a lot of effort into training and testing will definitely be stronger. We do have a Rebel 14.2 in the SoftWorks with stronger net and also NPS gain, I think Ed has some search stuff going on in SoftWorks(NL). I am concentrating on the Tal side of it, so useful when I get more idea what turns people on.
Personally, I think it's nice to have something that plays closer to human strength, because then humans can understand better what is going on. It's good to observe games playing out that are, well a bit crazy, we all like that, but just a little above one's own level, so they give surprises, but surprises one can understand.
