Thanks for your comments, Uri. I think I will post some analysis from a default
Rebel later tonight. Is the 0.0 score from your program movei? I think you are
right about the bookmoves, especially in a correspondence game maybe a program
should have built in an routine to check some bookmoves. You could add a comment
in your book for a bookmove that may not be best, and search those at really
long timecontrols especially if there is just a fixed time per move to search.
That kind of comment could be helpful for a human using a program for analysis
too, but it would be helpful for the opposition camp bookmakers as well in a
commercial book...
