      Hi Bob
      Interesting comments and I am waiting for
      your further results. It's of course not
      new that an engine might deal worse with a
      specific opening but good to know where the
      weaknesses are. When using book learning=on
      an engine will however no longer repeat the
      lines with a bad performance.
      Regards
      Kurt
