You seem to be asking about improvement in the scenario where the chess program
is used to play games, perhaps computer versus computer.  Don't know the answer
for that.

In a different scenario, where the chess program is used to assist in analysis,
the Fritz PowerBook is very useful.  It flags opening ideas the analyst might
have overlooked.  The endgame tablebases just give better endgame answers.

Also, when I was playing chess against humans, I used the PowerBook as a quick
reference to quickly find improvements for the openings I was working on.
