in case of tournaments it depends on the gui settings regarding the openings that must be played by engines, Arena for example plays one opening for the entire round for all engines, banksia you have to set it up and as for Cutechess that one in tournaments i only do gantlet.
Sure..but I am not talking about GUI settings...
Well, a few more words about eng learning...
Sure I am talking in general...
This time,
I will try in other, but in a very simple way... )
Let's say, we are traveling...via automobile...
And we preferred the road, which has no much defects, holes etc.
Just in case...you will have less chances to make accident..
And now lets come back to chess.. )
In other words,
if you use critical, weaker openings..then:
The eng learning may help to see those holes in next re-run..
That's why...in all latest serious EXP Duels, Book Tours etc.
The Exp players performed worse than strongest opening books!
But if I run a tour, based on critical, weak openings etc.
Let's say strong Exp fiiles vs Depth4_Deeds book
Or any other book, to be based on weak lines e.g UHO openings etc.
Then very likely the strong EXP file players will perform better...
Just do not ask why... ?)
Hope helps.. )
