I disagree here,  Rebel Century is a Commercial product with a commercial book,
somewhat attuned to Rebels play.

If you use a different book, and Rebel loses BECAUSE of the book, and then you
advertise "Rebel Lost" you are incorrectly defaming a commercial product.

Maybe you could say clearly "Rebel WITH A NON-REBEL BOOK Lost" but that would
still be remembered as Rebel lost.

Use the Rebel product that came in the mail, (plus any downloaded extras you've
got from the subscription pages).  The opponent can either practice with your
Rebel or buy his own. Don't tell him what Personality settings you are going to
use.

(If this IM was playing "me" he could see my openings in my published games, and
work out my style from them, but he wouldn't know how I'm going to play on the
day).

Looking foreward to seeing the games,
