Hello Kaj,

I don't rightly remember. Wasn't Rebel 12.00.01 an update from Ed for the
Windows version? And I have an UPDATE1.eng in
D:\Programma's\REBELWINDOWS\engines\Rebel12\personal with booklearning files for
Rebel 12.00.01 that shows settings with the fix for the Diep - Rebel bug from
the Dutch championship, I think the fix was partly the reson for that update? So
then the answer would be yes, as far as my memory goes...

Best,
Eelco

p.s. I never tried the PRUNE BAD MOVES stuff myself, maybe I will, in the vague
hope that one day Ed might make a new compile for Pro Deo... But as you maybe
know, untraceable bug has Ed in (need of) a fix as he reported in Chess
Thinker's Forum couple of weeks ago..
