The only way I can think of is to load them via the "Load User Book" item in the "BKS" menu. >And why is Rebel NOT playing >always move with best book score - I think it is quite clever way to use >book or? Book scores are based on learning and previous analysis, but they can be misleading nevertheless if they are based on very few games or very shallow analysis. Therefore virtually no program will stubbornly follow "best score lines" exclusively (except Crafty which you can configure to do so). It's always a good idea to have some variety. >Also if I add special book to rebel.mvs then use of book is very slow. >Any ideas how to use books with Rebel in best way? Rebel indeed _is_ slower accessing books than MChess or Chessmaster etc. However, unless your system is very slow and you're using one of the very big books that come with Rebel9, that should not be a problem. For blitz games, you should stick with Rebel's main book rebel.mvs. For tournament games, even a very large book should not pose too big problems (unless you leave it on the CD :-). --- Shep
