i have been thinking about multi processors and computer chess .my idea must be
wrong because no one uses the processors in this way .lets use the example of 32
cpu machine .
depth cpu used
1 ply 4
2 ply 4 = assumes that ply 1 has been played
3 ply 4 = assumes that ply 2 has been played
4 ply 4 = assumed that ply 3 has been played
5 ply 4 = assumes that ply 4 has been played
6 ply 4 = assumes that ply 5 has been played
7 ply 4 = assumes that ply 6 has been played
8 ply 4 = assumes that ply 7 has been played the cpu at the deepest
depth determines score
it seems to me with the cpu's used in this manner depth of search would be much
deeper and could eliminate not all but alot more of the horizon effect .imagine
if 64 cpu's were used???surely 3000 elo could be achieved ??? like i said there
must be a flaw because its not done this way .anyone know why??
