The main principle in Rebel is "weights". When losing a game then lower
the weight. When a game is won increase the weight. All Rebel book moves
have a "weight" value which serves 2 purposes:

1) the weight value is used to play book moves random.
2) the weight value is a strong indication to favor a move or not.

The effect is that Rebel will avoid lost book lines and repeat the book
lines it has won.
