It's not obvious that the main book must >also be on. A while back in time it wasn't so. Ever since Rebel7 (when the tournament book was implemented) I tell SSDF to play with the "standard" settings after installation and to leave the tournament book on. Besides of that one might expect a little knowledge of *any* tested program by *any* SSDF tester. If Rebel regular jumps out of book on move 4 one might start to think something is wrong don't you think? If a tester sees that after: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 or 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nc3 Rebel is out of book don't you think it is logical to assume something is *very* wrong? Will these games (how many?) played again with the good settings? Or will SSDF remove the games in question from the Rebel8 and Rebel9 results? I think Rebel8 and Rebel9 (and maybe Rebel7?) are treated unfair and lost (many?) unnecessary elo points because of that. Only SSDF can supply the information: 1.. how many testers have made this mistake; 2.. how many games are affected (not valid) because of that; 3.. what has been the elo loss for Rebel8 and Rebel9. Please correct the error and I will shut up. Your list is too important and valuable to let such a huge error unchanged. Playing Rebel8 and Rebel9 with a 4-5 Kb opening book. Who ever is to blame, it should be corrected IMO. - Ed Schroder - >Tony
