Just to clarify: The book included with Rebel, DS and Tiger is the same?

If they differ but the "base" of the book (maybe 90% of the book) would be the
same and the rest are specific variations tailored to each engines style, would
you still have a problem?

What if a programmer writes two different engines. Would it be
good/bad/acceptable if he/she would enter tournaments with both engines? (like
Bob enters both with Crafty and CB?)

I don't really know what to think about the issue. I can see potential problems
with _myself_ if I wanted to enter a tournament with 2 engines of me, but I
don't know whether you would dislike other people doing that.
