Last weekend I tested positional learning under Fritz7. I played 3 engines from
10 Nunn opening positions against Fritz7. I repeated this 4 times and checked
their score. Result: no gain in score in any engine! Yes I checked, that lrn
files get bigger and bigger after each match. Book learning was disabled =
definitely Fritz wasn't learning. Seems, that this learning stuff is only waste
of time. But I played with 60/15 time limit and ponder off - may be
this explains my result?!

PS. tested engines were Shredder5.32, Goliath Light1.5 and Yace 0.99.56
