It may be superior against humans because you cannnot use the same strange opening again and again but I have no evidence that it is superior against computers. I think that against computers the learning of the chessbase engines is superior because chessbase engines try to repeat the same opening that they won again and again when My knowledge is that crafty tries to avoid losses but not to repeat wins. Trying to repeat wins can be counter productive against humans because the opponent can expect the opening. Crafty also does not play more than 4 games in a row against computers so the author does not care about learning in long matches against computers and learning in long matches is important in long matches against computers so I think that the learning of chessbase is better against computers. > >Also does the position learning work when using in chessbase? The position learning is not important today in comp-comp games. It was done only to prevent humans to repeat the same win with a strange opening again and again. programs do not play strange opening in the ssdf games in order to try to repeat the same strange openiong again and again. It may be important in the future when a programmer decides to do an opening book of strange moves like 1.c3 and 2.Qc2 Uri
