If left to it's own calculations, it will probably always answer P-K4 with P-K4. I'm only guessing because I have not tried it, but if you were to pit TSCP against TSCP in a Winboard match, you would probably end up with several completely identical games. Learning would slightly alter that. Do you have a pgn of the game where DJ didn't have a book? Pete
