I think you are right. Good point. Every win adds % chance of playing for chessbase gui but not for crafty..For Crafty it doesn't go out of it's way to avoid repeating the win,but it doesn't make it more likely to repeat it either. The only problem is that the CB learner can be damaging when it learns from playing weak opponents.. >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. Hmm, if every chesseng (Most on SSDF are from the CB family) has CB learning,your argument wouldn't stand, since, trying to repeat wins wouldn't work anyway.. In terms of avoiding bad moves, Crafty is better.. >> >>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. probably right. ..
