And if the program handles the Nunn positions better than most of its opponents then the program should be better than these opponents in general. But who knows ? Let's finish our discussion with the conclusion that maybe it is not absolutely impossible to tune a program for the Nunn positions but it is not clear for me how to do that in a straight-forward way. A good adjustment against opponent B can be a bad one against opponent C. Frank
