If you play with a to quick time control book learning is not very helpfull But you can reset the learning. The quickest time control you can play is 30sec\move To have some reliabilety on this part. On the other hand If you look at it you have two things which will change after a game. A: Book learning B: Engine learning And If the book locks the openings moves to fast this part is useless.
