Even if equal - what can be supposed with the result - the next world
championship could be played without permanent brain, eh?
The link above shows Crafty with/without permanent brain reached almost equal
results versus opponents who always used permanent brain. Cool.

So the programmers should consider playing without permanent brain, this should
reduce the chances of hash collisions etc. And it does not weaken the engine.
Only pros, no cons, think about it. :-)
