That's indeed very surprising. In fact I'm still wondering if I am right to
refuse to do agressive learning. Tiger does not try to repeat won games (the
double you and Didzis had are completely pure luck).

Maybe it's stupid to do so. I could certainly gain more points against non
learning programs (or defective learning programs :) like for example Fritz3 if
I tried to repeat won games... I have seen that the SSDF played Tiger12 against
Fritz3, in this kind of matches you get more points by repeating won games.

Maybe also agressive learning, if it fails to repeat a won game, can at least
drive the program into the kind of position it likes (or understand better)

I should maybe consider my position again.
