Hello Vincent, I guess I was not very clear in my original post below. I did not turn off any book learning. As you say, it's impossible with Chessbase GUI. I simply cleared the book learning in one computer and let the other computer learn from 1700 previous games. The purpose was to see if the learning function from 1700 previous games helped in the match vs the computer which had no previous learning experience. In my 200 games the score was 103-97 with the computer with no previous learning the winner. So it appears there is no advantage to book learning except to prevent one computer from finding an opponents weak opening and playing it over and over again to get wins. Of course this is very important. I was expecting the computer which had learned from 1700 previous games to actually use this info to get a better score vs the one without any previous learning.
