It has an 68000 CPU running 12 Mhz and I cannot believe that this program (assmbler) is only doing brute-force 2 plies !! Also with M1 Sn it does a better search and has huge main lines. No - Genius uses the Mx Sy in a different way than other programs. M is search-brute-force S is search-depth with extensions/captures etc. but x only 2 ????? and the main line 5 or 7 or more plies and accurate ? The Richard-Lang PC-software does not give us relevant material to find out about. IMO we can only study the 680x0 machines because here Richard is PURE and not hiding anything since it was so early nobody discussed it heavily, like now. IMO we should make a 40/120 game with my Mephisto ROMA and i write down main-lines, evaluations and search-depth and we try to replay with genius and you will see: the 2 values genius offers us (M and S) or 6/18 is not what e.g. The King offers with 3/7. It is not 6 plies (before extensions)/(after extension). Mephisto Roma was IMO the best positional program he ever had.
