Yes. We shall work on this later. But we have another problem: humans
learn so quickly how to beat our programs, I'm wondering if we could
write polymorphic (changing) evaluation functions to confuse them. It
goes beyond book learning.

Some say the DB team changed some terms of their evaluation during the
match against GK to avoid this. It seems smart.
