Hallo!
It`s much more boring to see a program with a narrow book and no learner LOSE
five times in a row. A few years ago it´was almost impossible to play a match
over 20 games (without doubles) because of the narrow books and people
complained a lot more when the program only played a handul of opening-lines.
A huge book and a learner to avoid losing the same game over and over is of
course what should be the standard of todays programs.

Yes of course but two programs with a good book and a good learner and the match
starts from zero again, instead of two programs that play only a few openings.

Everyday something new!
