Both is my target.
Because if I play 100,000s of games than I will be closer to the 1 elo margin at
the same time I will see the effect of positional learning in the long term.

My primary target is to test learning effect, because from what I understand it
will take atleast 500,000 or more to reach a 1 elo margin; which probably will
be too much of a stress.


Do you have plans to implement positional learning in Movei?
