    Thanks for the precision, Ed. When I set the value at 1200, the program
still plays well - too well for me anyway :-) I'll probably lower the rating
value until it begins to blunder. My idea is always the same: for training
purposes, trying to recreate OTB conditions where I play opponents about one
class stronger than me, but where they still make positional *and* tactical
mistakes.

   Will Rebel 10 have some options to adjust the depth of the opening book?
For exemple: I would adjust the program at ELO 1200 and limit the depth
of the book to, let say, 8 moves.

                                    Regards,
                                                François Bertin
