That is what I presumed. We do not have the flearn19.dat file in the
install folder where we did find the flearn9.dat file.

That is surely what we believed, but mistakes have been made before ...

yes.

When we have a set of games for which we believe our statistics are
significant, we check the games from one parameter set that share
the same score. So far I have seen repeated scores, but not a repeated
game. We see repeated openings, but eventually the games diverge.

I guess that when we do not have the flearn19.dat file, then learning
does not take place in the fuseki.
