Hi Mogens,
Since positional.lrn comes default with crafty, and since fritz has
nothing as positional.lrn at all!!!, i dont think its unfair not even if its a
test ;). I believe any learning file that comes default with the program
shouldnt be turned off, because the program has been build to play with such
options. Would you play an opponent who doesnt learn from his/her mistakes??
thanks
Pavel ;)
