Let's ask you a counter example. Which writing on computerchess is sufficient in your eyes? The unfindable dissertation of Robert Hyatt? The writings of Marc Uniacke? The collection and especially historic overview on computerchess from Jaap v/d Herik (taking a look at the book): 630 pages? The multiprobe article of someone who searched till only 8 ply search depth and concluded that 4 probes was optimal for him? Or the 1989 article of Rainer Feldmann and a few others on parallel search where they somehow managed to find a speedup in their writing based upon 4-6 ply searches?
