Maybe it has no iterative deepening? Whatever the method is, when we have the engine, we will find out. Like Bob always says: some data is better than no data. And I guess the game I have posted with the search-depths IS more data than I had before... >This could even lead to a slower program in NPS, but huge main lines as >we have seen.

I had games again them and lost against both!). Right. But I have also watched games of Toledo AND Eugen. From what I have seen this was not similar. Eugen and Toledo are strong programs. But junior's main-lines seem to be of a different quality referring not to the playing strength but to the length and the speed. Only old Lang-programs remind me on this... > > >>We did some experiments in Paris on the hotel room to find out about >>Genius >>and Vincent told something about 1/3 plies and all this stuff. >>I am sure this secret will be cracked .... > >I don't see the point about 1/3 plies. :-) Vincent tried to explain it to me, but I can only say that I understood 1/3 of HIS explanations although Vincent is a genius in impressing with words :-) Whatever it is, I am sure it is worth studying it !! The way junior does it must be different for a long time (as I said, in Paderborn 1995 I have seen the same behaviour , only the program was not that strong and knowledged. IN PADERBORN i have seen these massive NPS or positions on the screen. Junior paderborn SHOWED them on the screen. Not junior Paris.). > > > > Christophe
