Hello!

No!

But it don´t loose the same game twice. This is the case with programs with no
learning, especially Rebel that often play the same variation over and over
again. Rebel has some primitive book-learning but it don´t work in narrow lines,
where there isn't any allowed alternatives. Mchess have a good learner but it's
not easy to save a game from a rotten opening-line, which is the problem in many
cases.
