Hi Bruce: Clearly "you are in the righ track" as Kasparov in Kasparov Gambit program would say. Learning is not other thing that to learn how to get lessons from reality. This means to get the unvariable pattern in each case in order to know what to do the next time. If that is coded, tjhat is equal to make the program stronger in the good, intelligent meaning of the term and no user could complain of that. If on the contrary what is taught to the program is a particular position, not the patterns of it, what we have here is not mere cheating -yes, something of it too- but an example of idiocy masked as intelligence, because that kind of things does not endure too much time. If you purchase a program that gets 2700 in a test and then you play a game against it and feel is no more than a 2000 engine, then you will complain, you will talk, you will flame against the programmer and the final result will be discredit and failure. By the way, what about Ferret? no plans to become commercial? Fernando
