This is true.
Well noticed :)

This could of course all be done but increasing the selectivity is
risky. Same story for playing 'normal' games with Combination=ON as
Rebel will find tactics faster but the quality of the positional
play will be less, at least 50 ELO in my opinion.

It's planned to publish the AUTO232 games later when competitor
programs are released too.
