Hi everybody
I have gandalf 4.32f playing on a chesserver. I do not have a super-pc(266MMX,
48mb ram).. But I encountered a strange thing. I have learning set to 1. Below
are two games against the same person. In the first game gandalf came bad out of
the opening(-1.00) and was under lot of pressure.. The human made a mistake and
resigned.. But the funny thing was that gandalf used the excact line as its
openingbook in the next black-game, even it came worse out the first game, and
eventually resigned.. I though that setting learning on would make the engine
better and not jump into a bad opening, and not base the openinglearning on the
outcome of earlier games(1-0, 1/2-1/2, 0-1)???
