browsing through the article, 'A Grandmaster Chess Machine' - 1990 written by Hsu, Anantharaman, Campbell, and Nowatzyk was this quote... "Speed is the key to work now under way at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where the next-generation machine [Deep Blue?] is now being designed. It should outcalculate its predecessor by a factor of at least 1,000. The machine we have in mind will therefore examine more than a billion positions per second, enough to search 14 or 15 plies deep in most cases and from 30 to 60 plies in forcing lines. If the observed relation between processing speed and playing strength holds, the next-generation machine will play at a 3400 level, about 800 points above today's Deep Thought and 500 points above Kasparov's rating record." are there any chess programs today - Rebel Tiger Chessmaster 7000 Shredder Junior Fritz Nimzo Crafty and others... that can look 15 to 16 plies in the middle game ( supposedly like Deep Blue did)... thanks PilgrimDan
