4.5.13.1 The Rebel opening book editor

The Rebel opening editor only works with RBM text files which you probably just made with New user book.

The edit process goes as follows:

• load a RBM book into the PC's memory with Load user book
• choose Edit User book
• you now are able to change the loaded book in every way you please by deleting variations, adding variations, changing priority of moves or even importing games to the book.
• as a last step you can save the edited book back to your harddisk by Save user book

IMPORTANT
The Rebel book editor ONLY works with a MOUSE.

The layout of the screen will change:

• the (big) REBEL button is changed in EXIT. Here you can leave the editor
• at the bottom of the INFO window the quantity of used and free memory is displayed. Found opening moves are displayed in the INFO window.
  By clicking on the moves you can quickly go to your desired place in the book.
• all other game manipulating key functions like PGUP, PGDWN, HOME, END etc. are also available.
• The comment window is used as an EDIT window.

This is an exact copy of the moves in the INFO window, however HERE is the place to make your changes

4.5.13.2 Remove a variation

You simply click on the move in the EDIT window with your RIGHT mouse button. The move will disappear from the INFO and EDIT window.

IMPORTANT
Be aware that the remaining variation AFTER the deleted move is automatically removed too!

4.5.13.3 Change priority

This is done by clicking on the move in the EDIT window with your LEFT mouse button. The move with a "-" will change into a move without a "-" and vice versa. Rebel will never play moves with a "-".

4.5.13.4 Add variation

If you want to add a variation you simply click on Insert.

4.5.13.5 Hints

You can add your own games or (grand)master games very quickly to the opening book. This goes as follows:

• load the game
• press END, Rebel will go to the last move of the game
• click on Insert and the game has become new theory!
