Thorsten does not measure the learning of programs in matches. 2)There is a simple way to increase the "playing strength of chess programs, measured in the way SSDF does". You can simply autoplay many games against Fritz3(p90) and many commercial programs tested by the ssdf and remember the winning games as part of the opening book. I know nobody who does it but it does not change the fact that it is possible to increase the ssdf rating significantly without improving the engine in this way. Uri
