How many positions do you need to include in Rebel's book in order to prevent the opponent to get Rebel out of book without making a novelty. Rebel does not have to know all the positions in the games becausethe user book prevent most of the position(if the user book has only 1.e4 or 1.d4 then games with 1.c4 for the opponent are not relevant. I think that it may be productive if Ed writes a program to find all the possible positions that can happen when Rebel is out of book not because of a novelty. He may give these positions to you in order to help you to get a better opening book. I guess that the number of the relevant positions is between 10,000 and 100,000 and the number of relevant position when the position was played at least 13 times is clearly smaller. Uri
