My guess would be that deep blue 1 (being hell slower than version
which played in 97) was simply getting at most 10 ply here. Then
it probably missed the tactical Bh5 there to be winning (note i find
it at 9 ply, fritz at 11, but probably my SE there is lucky
and i do not limit it bigtime like DB is known to have done it),
and it probably missed that after f3 e3 that this endgame with a piece
down is not a good plan to try.

So most likely its 10 ply search didn't reveal anything useful and because
of that it probably played f3.

No superb search. In contradiction an INFERIOR search compared to nowadays
2001 programs. I wouldn't want to try diep 1996 though at this position,
i fear a problem then. It might play f3 for the same reason.

I didn't have nullmove very well implemented back then, neitehr hashtables
were very well working back then. And i sure wouldn't search more than 8
ply in 1997 WMCC at a PII300 with 66Mhz edoram most likely at this position,
so a 10 ply search in 1996 was in those days *real* deep. let's not forget
that. I got WITH nullmove and 32mb hashtables at a PII300 at the wmcc1996
with a program WITH mobility and such inside its eval a search depth from
between 8 and 10 ply. Usually 8 ply at crucial positions. 10 ply when i
was kind of lucky with the bounds or in endgame or when it could think for
10 minutes.

We must see things in clear perspective.

Deep Blue 1 outsearched me bigtime. Deep Blue2 however searched perhaps
1 to 2 ply deeper than DB1. Tactical for sure better, because that 1 or 2
ply more in the software search probably triggered quite some extensions.

But if we compare it with today then both machines look pathetic of course,
just like my current diep version will look pathetic with diep 2005.
