As a matter of fact, I'm performing an experiment with my program regarding opening books. I'm comparing three possibilities: 1. Empty opening book. The program creates it's own by playing games and storing information about it's own moves (note that it doesn't copy the opponents moves). 2. Narrow and deep opening book. Just some main lines getting very deep. In this case, the learning tries to make the book wider. 3. Wide but not deep book. A lot of options for the first moves, but none very deep. The learning tries to choose among the many possible lines which give better results and get deeper on those lines. I don't have conclusive results yet but, at first sight, it seems that 1 gets the best results for my program. It is important to note that the program can, at some point, decide a book or learnt line is not good and search to find another one. It's not a dream at all. Actually, it's much easier than it seems. José C.
