        About FRIDAY

        It is adviced not to make experiments to get the chess engine
        to play on its strongest all day of the week on the risk Rebel
        Decade 3.0 will get confused and will not switch on friday's
        to the REAL Rebel 10 chess engine. In case it happens anyway,
        just re-install the program.
