As a user of Rebel9 I want to convey that I think the learner is a
useful idea. One of the ways I like to use the program is to play at
material odds.  So if I take a rook off black's position (or more :-> )
I would like for the program to be able to find better and better
openings each time I play it.  Wouldn't this be a legitimate use for
this feature?
