  Two questions Manfred:
                            What you say is that Rebel uses the score
for each move as a weight to decide which move to play. I tought that
these book analysis scores were only meant as user-information on the
value of a move relative to others. Does this mean that if I want Rebel
to choose a book move *randomly* between several possibilities in
a given position, I must use a book that has not been analysed?
If I deactivate "Show book score", does Rebel still uses the scores
for choosing its move?

                                 Regards,
                                             François Bertin
