As far as the Rebel family is concerned: 1. Rebel is not competing in comp-comp tourney's anymore. 2. Gandalf has Dan Wulff as opening expert. 3. So there is only Tiger with a Noomen book. Still, there might be a severe hole in this rule: Suppose one of the ChessBase progs is playing an amateur program. I *could* say to the programmer of this program: 'Here, use my brilliant anti-Fritz lines. For this one game you have permission to use my book'. I immediately want to state that I would NEVER do this, but the rules allow it. And that would be no good. Something like that happened last year in Maastricht, when Junior used a special book (I believe it was one of Alex Kure's books) in the game against Chess Tiger. The game started 20 minutes late, because the Junior team had to load the whole book to harddisk. I didn't like that, but took that into account. Still, I believe that rules should forbid this kind of 'exchanging' books. Jeroen
