 Yes, it does. When I enter my games in Rebel for analysis or storing
purposes, I am generally in the program's book for several moves,
and then the game gets out of it. However, a few moves later Rebel's
book often shows up again with suggestions. This, I believe, is a book
transposition. When I red KK's review of Rebel 10, I was puzzled by his
statement about the absence of transposition. Perhaps he meant books
made by the user and not Rebel's original opening book. I have not yet
noticed a transposition in a user-made book, either in the MVS or RBM
format, but then I have not worked much with such books. I am just
beginning to dwelve into that aspect of the program with books I have
made about the King's Gambit Muzio, King's Bishop Gambit and Albin's
Counter Gambit... :-)
