Go up one level in this thread


I have a bit of a puzzle.

In these experiments, you varied the depth from 5 to 12 plies, but in the "goes
deep" experiments, it was deeper, if I recall correctly.

In the earlier experiments, it seemed to level out.

I would like to see control matches where the plies are equal.
IOW, 5:5, 6:6 up to 12:12.
In that way, you will know what the gain of the extra ply is.  I don't think you
can tell clearly strictly from the data given.

For example, in your 12 <==> 11 experiment, you show 35.71% wins, 52.38% draws,
and 11.9% losses.  What would the result be for 12:12?

That is the real value of the ply (I think).
