Kurt,

Of Course learning do a difference. In short matches can be a big difference

In SSDF database you can find lots of duplicated games played in the Learning
pre-era. MChess Pro had a BIG advantage at that time. The learning feature
of MCHess Pro was very agressive as I have not seen again. It learned from
variations that were not on the opening book too.

Fritz has showed in SSDF matches that learning is important.Althougth Fritz will
stick to it's opening book,will play the winning variations.

The learning feature will not diminish rating points. The opposite is more
probable.
