>What about the possibility to tune the engine like it is possible in
>Chessmaster/King and some other programs?

I don't believe in changing piece values for the user. It looks a nice
feature but in reality it will only weaker the engine as the default
settings are already best. If they aren't then...........

I believe in adding personalities but then it should be good. Capablanca
should really play as Capablanca etc. I fear 3-5-6 months (or so) per
personality.


>And, additional, I'd like to see several different opening books:
>a) computer book, optimized for the engine

The Rebel standard book + tournament book will do.
Always have been.


>b) tournament book for general use/training, including actual theory
>which may contain actual lines that are not well handled by the engine

On the Rebel9 bonus cdrom you will find:
- a book for white of 9 Mb
- a book for black of 6 Mb
- other books in total 56 Mb
All books are unedited so Rebel will play every move active.

>c) fun book for opening training, containing weak moves where the user
>can and should try to find a good way to win but if he makes some weaker
>moves he'll get blown

Nice idea.


>d) a Gambit-book with several harsh lines (including incorrect lines,
>but only if the user finds or knows the correct answer).

These are on the Rebel Home Page see area Downloadable Software.
