Even with position learning a program can play the same _mistake_ 100 times before the learning backs up into the tree far enough to force the game to follow a different path.

What if the "winner" finds a way to win against program X, then it plays each of the "clones" of program X and beats them in _exactly_ the same game? How do you solve that? The fritz operators pounded on the tiger clones with an oddball opening. They beat _all_ the tiger clones in exactly the same way.

A higher-rated player _has_ been banned for intentionally inflating the rating of a lower-rated player. Computer operators have done this to their programs on occasion... >Uri
