This is one of the positions from deeper blue-kasparov(game 4 before 23.Nc3)

Deep blue claims that they could search 15 plies in 15 seconds that is
200,000,000*15 nodes=3,000,000,000 nodes

I am interesting to know if you can search 15 plies with no pruning and no
extensions with less than 3,000,000,000 nodes.

You can use evaluation of 0 for all the moves so you will always have a perfect
order of moves.

You can use hash tables.
please tell me how many nodes you need to see
1 ply,2 plies,....15 plies and how many plies do you need to fill the hash
tables.

repeat the experiment with smaller hash tables in order to guess if bigger hash
tables can help significantly.

Here is Deep blue logfile in the relevant position
