My opinion is that it should be the responsibility of the testers to stop the
match when they suspect that the learning of a program that is supposed to have
a learning function is destroyed and to ask the programmer for the reason for
it.

It is not interesting to continue matches when you see that the learning is
destoyed and if it is possible to test the program without this bug then it is
better to do it.

I do not suggest to stop matches after seeing bugs that are not learning bugs
because this kind of bug is different.

People may complain that tiger12 also lost the same opening against Junior many
times in a row but this case was different because I understood that the reason
was not a bug but a bad design decision.
