I think *everyone* is looking at the wrong aspect of learning. It is not about finding "good" openings against a single opponent... it is *much* more important to detect *bad* openings against *all* opponents. This is the valuable part of "crafty's book learning" results... to take a huge collection of PGN games, about 2/3 million games, in fact, and then play from these games and learn which moves are to be avoided. If you look at my LearnFunction() you will notice that I don't pay much attention to "winning" and concentrate on "losing" lines... If I can eliminate the losing lines, I identify the "winners" by default. But mainly I want to eliminate the "losers". It is working, and *anyone* can down- load my book source, then download my "learning" data and have a book that is based on 50,000 OTB games played from an opening book of 2/3 million games... And not see too many outright blunders as a result...
