3 or 4 more plies may be asking too much from the hardware as this amount of ply
increase would take a huge jump in computer power. This problem could better be
sloved with some better understanding in the program, I would think.

I hear you are good at math, so I will ask...How much more computing power would
it take for Deep Junior to see 4 more plies?
