An interesting (and maybe better) way to implement lessons would be to
build case bases, with a facility to find similar positions. This
"Find Similar" function is certainly not trivial, but very possible.
Case-base reasoning is possible, after all. Allegedly, we all do it.

a cost for the engine, which is unnoticeable (even with Rybka 3);

Just as I read across the ICCF forum:

Maybe you also had this "problem" from time to time: you
wanted to show a postion to a friend but he does not have a

positions somewhere and want to look them up, but there's no
Scid available.

Monte Carlo is a way to evaluate according to simulations. Simulating is a
way to probe a problem space in a way that renders the task somehow more
tractable, when the computational power allows it. With Scrabble and

The more interesting thing is the picture of Iweta Rajlich... :)
I'm joking. More seriously, I admit that I had in mind cb9 features,
when I did all changes in the scid analysis interface, so this article
couldn't be more interesting for me.
