Go up one level in this thread
I think, the learning issue was solved. I suggest to go further. For Crafty to
be a good sparring partner (this might depend on the version of Crafty), you
should make it not aware, that the opponent is a computer (can be done, by
options to WB/XB). Otherwise, Crafty will always use the same book lines ("My"
Crafty that I downloaded will always make the same move in each position, when
the opponent is a computer. It will chose the move with the best statistics in
the PGN from which the book was created). If your book is rather random, this
might be acceptable, but if you also try with a rather forced book, you will see
the same variations - possibly the same games - over and over again. Even when
your book is rather broad, this might not be, what you expect from a sparring
partner. Of course, you should not mention your results against Crafty, when you
disabled learning and the narrow book - Bob will complain loudly :-)
Regards,
Dieter
