They are obvious errors. However they won't do any harm as long as they are flagged as losing. Only if such a "stupid" move has actually won a game will there be a slight chance Rebel plays it. However, if you have a senseless queen sacrifice that happened to win one game, it will get about 0.2 to 0.45 bonus which is usually not enough to compensate for the -6 material loss, so Rebel will not play it anyway. >Also when I said ECO that's what I meant. >I was talking about two different problems.

But I have no idea which program is correct (MChess' classification is a little different sometimes, too). Programs often run into trouble with transpositions of openings. I recently saw Fritz classify an opening as "Bxx (XYZ Variation, 4. or 5.Bg5)" when Bg5 was the 10th move... --- Shep
