No one knows why. I will go back to taking the pondering off. P.S. I just went back to pondering off. it sure speeds up the opening play. No crashes yet but too early to tell. Another question to Bob Hyatt? will Crafty learn actual new moves in it's opening book? Will it add new moves based on previous good results? If so are these limited to the 65,000 position learning limit that you implemented and if so why a limit at all?
