It was deeper but it was not based on comp-comp games and I think that the positions do not demonstrate what happens in comp-comp games(I read that the positions were taken from kasparov-deep blue games and if this is the case kasparov chose positions that computers do not understand so the fact that they changed their mind even at big depthes is not surprising(you change your mind when you have no idea what to do). > >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.

What would the result be for 12:12? I guess that the result will be 50% because Fritz6 played against itself. You can learn from 12<==>12 experiment about the number of draws but I do not see what you can learn about diminishing returns from more plies. Uri
