This 8000 number came from Murray's talk, which is probably similar to the talk that Hsu gives. I don't have a problem believing that they have lots of eval. Their hardware lets them reward and penalize lots and lots of patterns with no time cost, I gather that it's all done at the same time, in parallel. So whenever they think of a new term, they can just write it in. No big deal. I don't waste a lot of time worrying about DB. There's not much evidence to make conclusions from, and if more evidence is presented, it won't be necessary to speculate like this, everyone will know. And if they never play again, DB is even less interesting. >To kick an open door, suppose they are stupid, but tactical strong >then why if they solve for example all Nolot test set positions, then >why didn't they publish it? They haven't published anything significant yet. bruce
