Did you read what I wrote?  I said tht you are trying to find Bxh7 and having
a _hard_ time doing it.  DB found it for the _opponent_ as it expected this in
the game.  This means that after you strip off one ply of its search, it _still_
cound see the tactics that make Bxh7 look interesting.  You can not find it in
2-3 minutes from Kasparov's move... yet DB found it when it was trying to choose
a move.

Get it now?

That is funny.  DB saw this as the second move in its PV from the previous
search.  you can barely find it as the _first_ move in your PV and it takes
forever to do so.  And you see "tactically way more as DB"???

I don't follow at _all_..

I will be impressed when I see you win some games vs kasparov....

or even against a program that can't beat the program that couldn't beat
deep thought...
