Hi Jim,
I believe the Rebel Century 3.0 first does an analysis of the book move before
it even considers to use the move from it's 800,000 game database, but will only
do this if you have it set to "moderate" or "strong", this way it won't chose a
losing line that happened to be in it's large book database! The engine won't
check for this if you just have it set to "book".

Regards,Terry
