Well true except you would think that it would come back with a similar score
eventually. As far as i know Deep Thought is Like taking Hiarcs or diep or any
other slow searcher adding more knowledge and giving it Speed Like Crafty, Fritz
etc.

According to what i've read in the book mentioned in my previous post:
In 1993 a panel discussion concluded that a 14 Ply search by Deep Thought or an
equivalent program would be enough to defeat Kasparov. A 13 Ply search might be
sufficient, but a 12 Ply search was probably not enough.

What i have to say about this is that different programs search differently, so
what is a 14Ply search by Deep Blue to Hiarcs?
What about to Little Goliath, or Junior or Fritz?

Obviously Nodes per second is only half the story for instance Hiarcs would take
forever to find that white is better after 17...Qe8 in Kramnik-Deep Junior
but Little Goliath takes 17Ply i believe it was to see that it's up 0.70 or
1pawn +  not sure exactly , Deep Thought was playing 90minute games against
Kasparov Searching 2.1MNps (300Million)and Deep Junior was Up against the same
league of player Searching 2.6M in 40/2 possibly looking at between (900M and
1Billion nodes) if it was using the Kramniks time efficiently.

Funny you can say Deep Thought is as effective if not more so on slower hardware
than a commercial on faster hardware.
