But you can learn a lot from wat an engine prunes and what actualy comes on the board. Especialy when it gets a higher valeu when to oponent leaves the mainline of the engine I think the meaning is to make a stronger chess program and not a program which takes care of the weakness of other programs. The end result of this way of thinking is that it will be of more valeu for the ones who use an engine for analyzes purposes. And I believe that is the greatest market share . Marc
