It just doesn't work, usually. For example, analyze a position for 1 hour in infinite mode, which should give it quite a bit of learning. Right? Then exit the software, reset the computer, reload the software, and bring the position back up for infinite analysis. It should now benefit from the prior analysis. Right? In only about 1 test position in 5 (20% of the time), it remembers the prior long analysis OK. In about 4 test positions in 5 (80%), it remembers absolutely nothing, zero, zilch. WP
