Of course I delete the learning for both engines!!! All I wanted to do is having
the same clean start for both engines. The engine that is having white would
have the possibility to learn something for its "black" game that the other
engine could not do when having black first. (And, yes the black-first engine
could learn something for its white game, but who knows if that is identical?)

>Why not just disable learning completely?

Yep, you are right here. I could (and should) have done this. Have not thought
about it but do you think that deleting it after each round is doing any harm? I
am pretty sure that does not matter. I will do it for future games.

Bye
Ingo

PS: Again something (learn off) I would have to find out for every WB-engine
induvidually :-(
