Better still would be if games can be played the equivalent of tournament
timings at 1 terrahertz, By that, I mean 100 ghz.
i.e. you would need to give a 1ghz computer 200 hours per 40 moves.
This, by the way is much much slower than Deeper Blue was, but I am always
curious if DB would have stood up to it in practice.
DR. Hyatt would always say "of course it would". But I think it is worth trying.
Maybe it would triumph convincingly over DB. Although it gives not much more
than 3-ply more than 1 Ghz.
