RE: [Bug-gnubg] Removal of absolute fibs ratings

[Albert Silver]

Hi Kees,

As you can see below, the way the cube errors are calculated has been
changed, and as such, the FIBS rating given according to your work is no
longer valid. Can anything be done?

                                Best regards,

                                        Albert Silver
