If so, there's nothing more >to do or say. No, resign is standard set to OFF. My critic is not about the half point Rebel9 missed but a general critic how to deal when errors are found. Similar mistakes could also be made with other programs. I have absolute trust in the intentions of SSDF and their good work but they should correct errors when found. >If I remember correctly, Rebel's autoplayer resigns at -5.

Then you should run Rebel with the "A" parameter. So REBEL.EXE A This will bypass the +5.00 / -5.00 check and also will bypass the double game check. If I am right SSDF only test Rebel with the "A" option. - Ed - >Amir
