It just isn't tuned to do so. But by ramping up the weight for learning (bookw learn command) this will happen. It just doesn't work on chess servers... do you _really_ want to keep playing the same opening until your opponent figures out how to bust it? Not on a server against anti-computer GM players. You want more variety. In any case, when I said "came from Crafty" it meant exactly that. The ideas were published, both in the source and in the JICCA. They asked if I had any problem with their using this stuff, and I said "no"... >In general I like the Crafty book-learner better as you can't spoil the book >totally with a few blitz games compaired to standard games although I think in >comp-comp games you have narrowed down possible openings too much to enjoy its >play and making it easier to search for specific holes .
