But as soon as you are going to play on normal time control the picture changes. So far my conclusion is that CN=25 does the best overall job for Rebel Century 1.0 (cdrom version). For the update (version 1.2) this is set to default. Since it is not allowed to play with version 1.2 in the Israel League Uri suggested to use CN=25 which makes Century 1.0 stronger. Uri deserves a statue for smart thinking and having an excellent understanding of Rebel. Ed
