Subject: Altering personality due to opening

I have started a short small test. Made several small books of one opening each
to about move 10-13. Run a RR tourny to see if any engines like or dislike any
certain opening. Results here so far.

Once I find out how to post on my yahoo page with yahoo publisher, I will post
the games. Bear in mind I am doing this between jobs here at work, so will be
slow and unresponsive at times. (My wife just told me to get back to work, read
this over my shoulder and THEN said I am like that most of the time anyhow.)
Ed in Pro Deo has an engine learn feature which looks like, in a match, if
losing, will change to a different personality for a few games to see if it can
do better and if still losing changes to another ect. until it finds a
personality that stays even or wins.
Wondering if anyone has thought of having there engine check what the opening is
when they leave their book and have the engine change its "personality" to one
that plays that opening better than the  standard personality.
For instance, Hiarcs 9 (in my short test) did good except with the Caro Cann
opening. If one was to find a change that would have Hiarcs 9 play better with
the caro cann opening and then be able to have it change to that personality
when it goes out of book in the caro cann opening, that should be to its
advantage. Some opening it would not need to change but if you know your engine
plays certain opening bad unless the personality is changed, then why not do
that?
Just an idea.
