Hi,

there is no real reason to not implement learning. But learing is not important
at all for a chess engine thus it will be implemented if you don´t have other
things to do.
There are too many chess positions to be able to learn on a relevant part of
them (you just have to implement a large book with radom selection of moves).
Thus learing does only solve the following points:

1. Somebody trying to find a draw or a win by throwing the engine out of book
very early (example 1. a3) and try similar moves as long as he needs to find a
way to win.

2. Contests with engine vs. engine with a large amount of games between the same
engines using a small book.


Greetings Volker
