Hello Jim,
This feature of Fritz 7 that allows it to learn from all your databases, is this
similar in comparison to Rebel Century which if allowed to use the Big ECO will
then be playing from this database. I like this feature of Rebel Century because
it first evaluates the move it's considering to use from it's database to make
sure it's a good move and not a blunder before it actually uses the move!
Regards,
Terry
