Hello Diego,

I would just go with Jeroen's recommendation in his first post:
Please make sure always to use the following options (see Book Options):

1. Tournament Book should be switched ON
2. Minimum games should be set to 3
3. Up to move should be set to 100
On Rybkachess Kevin Plant mentioned the read.me file was mentioning the old settings, so probably it is the same picture on Rebel 13 page, but set it to 100.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Any harm in setting the "Upto Move" to 15 or 20 for Long Time Control games ?
I'd like to avoid the unpleasant surprise of coming out of your Book at say the 28th Move, to find myself -1 or -2 down, with little hope of a comeback !
Remember that people are using very strong computers in LTC online matches.
Or is your Book only good for Blitz/STC games ?
Be frank.

My book is tested against other books and most of the active lines are checked with Stockfish. So IMO the chance to have a -1 or -2 book exit is very small.

Nevertheless, if you are going to play a LTC (corr?) game, it is always good to check lines yourself. Mo matter which book you are using.

Good luck!
