I know only www.chess.org.il but it is in hebrew and the last time I tried to
look at it there was a problem with this site and I could not find information
about the teams.

Ed said that knowledge=25 is better at least against computers and it is
posssible that it is better also against humans because the extra ply may lead
to better positional moves.

I told him that I am going to use knowledge=25 and he had no problem with it.
I think that the term chess knowledge is misleading because Rebel knows
important things also with chess knowledge=0.

Chess knowedge=25 is better than chess knowledge=0 but it is a mistake to assume
that Rebel knows nothing with chess knowledge=0.

I tried a match between chess knowledge=500 and chess knowledge=0 at 7 plies
depth and chess knowledge=500 won but I did not see something close to 100% for
chess knoledge=500.
I do not remember the exact score now but it was something like 40:20 for chess
knowledge=500.
