Yes. After Paris I have started to STOP relying on my personal feelings about
how my program should play.
I have started to build objective tools (in which my subjectivity could not
influence) to evaluate my program and evaluate if changes were good or not.
So since early 1998 I do not study closely lost games anymore, unless I can see
a clear repeated pattern in these losses.
Since I have started to use this method, my program has dramatically improved.
So I do not see any reason to return to the old way of doing it.
That's why I'm not going to give any particular importance to the losses that
happened during this WMCCC. That's my usual way of handling this...
