If a program knows that a (board, move) is good, and has a need to learn
it, then the program has nothing to learn. I thought a program only
learns what we told it to learn, or it searched 50-ply deep and found a
(board, move) indeed very good, then learns to remember the situation to
avoid next time deep search.

Hi there,

(1) Learning
...But, for every learning approach there must be a kind of a-priori
information on what and how to learn. In my opinion, the best approach
would be to minimize this a-priori information to get a most flexible
learn mechanism.
