Hi!

Century3 has some kind of position-learning. In fact it is very successfull when
it is out of book in the same book-line. I have seen it several times in some
100 game matches against S5 and Gambit. I guess you have seen it, when it lose a
game it stops and update the learning and checks the auto232.

I thought everyone in the ongoing tournament should try to play the same
Colle-line in the ongoing tournament as it obviously was out of book in move2.
