"An Honest Way to Cheat":

Implement learning.  All computer programs should do this anyway.  If they don't
it is a defect and the program deserves to be punished.

A FEW QUESTIONS:

(1)  How much benefit is **possible** in chess engines by incorporating
"learning"?  Also, how to measure that benefit?

(2)  Are there poor, ineffective, ways to do it and good, effective, ways?

(3)  What would be the **best** way to incorporate learning in chess engines?

(4)  Perhaps it would be necessary to distinguish between "knowledge based"
learning and other kinds of learning?

(5)  Is this already discussed sufficiently in other ICD CCC threads or in the
literature somewhere?  If so, where?
