I use the default settings. Which means rebel.mvs with Tournament book.
None of the example games have been tested by me.

All through the years of testing, we have been told by the programmers
to
use the Tournament Book and the Tournament Book only. And now you say
that you use the same system as Bob do in Crafty, with a start.pgn
connected to the "Big Book". News for me. But as I said, I use default
settings because I trust in the creator that the program will perform at
its peak with it.
