I haven't heard that recommendation from Ed. I remember that he has said
Anti-GM=Smart is not good for analysis. This is because the Smart setting is a
function of the game history (i.e. previous moves) and will give erratic results
with analysis.

I thought Anti-GM=Off versus Strong was more a matter of personal taste. Early
on, I do recall him saying he personally didn't like Rebel's playing style as
much with Anti-GM turned on, but I don't know what he thinks about it these
days.

What I've found in comparing the analysis results of the two, is that when they
are different, sometimes go to the same move if given more plies to think. When
you found that Rebel avoided c3, at what ply did it finally leave c3 for good?
