consider the search depths diep had last 3 world champs. 9 ply, 10 ply, 11 ply
and where i posted always that you need at least 12-14 ply to get through the
tactical barrier.

This is the first champs that diep searches through the tactical barrier!

So imagine that the only real weak chain of diep is no longer there!

Doesn't take away there are other issues of course.

But still... ...a real weak chain is a strong one now :)

Best regards,
Vincent
