Wait a second: why some people give so total importance to deep lines and to be capable of looking deeper lines? I understand that it is important as much as tactical, evident shots appears, but even so it seems to me that the core of the issue is if the engine -or human- knows what he is seeing. I can imagine a program made out in such a fashion as to always lose pieces even if he see 100 plies IF his evaluation does not score material. Or another capable of being mated because ONLY see material, but has not idea of what a king attack is. So Junior must have something else that a deeper look. Even more, I suspect that his deeper look has to do with a better evaluation strategy. Is not what GM do? They look just one or two moves in each ply, so in some ocasions they can see long lines, 15 or 20 or more plies deep. If you read the interview he gave to me in WCCR, you will get a hint, the way as he conceives the concept of ply, what is a ply. Take a look at it... Fernando
