That's 250 million times as much. That's at least ten plies more, maybe a lot more than that. I think the search would generate quite a bit of knowledge in that case, but it might still play weird and lose some games. If you added some simple stuff like piece-square tables and pawn structure eval, it would be very hard to beat it. bruce
