In principle yes only that the learning frequency is set very low. This to
avoid the book becomes too narrow after 10-20 games and you only see Rebel
trying to repeat its won games.

You can safely use the anti-GM=Smart setting in your games. It will be
practiced against GM v/d Wiel too. I don't think the anti-GM setting
makes Rebel a stronger player, it is meant to confuse the strong human
player, avoid closed position, make sure to get (or hold) the initiative.

anti-GM is certainly not meant as playing the best move all the time.



>Can you give a brief explanation for the use of "Active", "Strong" and "Smart"?

That is a long story.
