Every Engine has opponents it likes, and opponents it hates. If I play an opponent I like for many games, my "ELO" increases above the truth. If i play the Crafty clones (not an engine, my prog likes) it goes down. So I often test against Crafty clones (am I stupid?)if they allow it to learn out of it.... (I like to loose at ICC, cause you learn more out of a loose than out of a win...) Werner
