I think if you are good enough to find what is good about all these
openingsbooks you are intiteled to call it yours.
Because it will take a lot of work to find that out.
(You have to read it like there is a point of authorisation of the rebel book
But not under these circumstanses.
Much of the good stuff of the rebel openingsbook also stands in the Junior book
just to give you a hint.
And you know why.)
