In a recent post, Ed Schröder alluded to the possibility that future
versions of Rebel would have their opening book solely based on the
EOC database. He seemed to think that one of the positive aspects of
this would be to improve the learning process of the program. Perhaps
transposition possibilities would also be markedly improved?
