Hi.

Crafty only learn from his loss.

Here is a relevant thread:

And also a bit from his input routine

  else if (OptionMatch("result",*args)) {
    if (nargs > 1) {
      if (!strcmp(args[1],"1-0")) {
        strcpy(pgn_result,"1-0");
        if (!crafty_is_white) LearnBook(tree,wtm,300,0,1,2);
      }
      else if (!strcmp(args[1],"0-1")) {
        strcpy(pgn_result,"0-1");
        if (crafty_is_white) LearnBook(tree,wtm,-300,0,1,2);
      }
      else if (!strcmp(args[1],"1/2-1/2")) {
        strcpy(pgn_result,"1/2-1/2");
      }
      return(1);
    }
  }
