Do you say that you do not avoid adding  knowledge because of the fact that you
know that it is going to make Junior slower.

I know that Junior does not know some things that crafty knows(for example the
fact that sometimes KBPP vs K is a draw when the bishop does not control the
relevant corner.

Do you say that you do not add this knowledge because you do not know how to put
this knowledge in Junior and not because of the fact that you are afraid to be
slower?
