Crafty on Chessbase GUI question

[Mike S.]

The cb-native Crafty supports multivariation analysis mode (multi-pv; press [+] or [-]), and - like almost all engines in Fritz - "analyse threat" if you press [x], in analysis mode. I understand that this is probably not what you were instersted in, nevertheless I found these to be useful enhancements.

Another crafty related question.

Does Crafty positional learning still limits itself to 65536 entries, if so anyway to bypass this limitation?

Since 23.0 there is no positional learning at all. I found it caused more trouble and confusion than it was worth.

You could edit the learn.c file and change this to something larger.

That sucks, but thanks for the info though.

Position learning is not much help in real games. And it is a real hindrance in debugging or running test suites since you have to keep deleting the stuff. Or else you get bogus results and don't realize it.
