I don't know if it would play better. I would be interested in its
analysis. The chip has evaluation parameters that execute in parallel,
so a large evaluation can be done in very little time.

but the basic search is supposed to be full width. I would just be
interested in it whether it plays better (whatever that means) or not.
They all play better than I do.
