Go up one level in this thread

I have always been very impressed with Phalanx.

For the same search depth, Phalanx will solve many problems that no other engine
will solve at the same depth.  That indicates to me that the search extensions
involved are very smart.

Also, Phalanx will find solutions to problems that other engines simply will not
find.  I think this is mostly related to king safety, but I am not sure.

Phalanx is the little engine that could.
;-)

Lower NPS (factor of 2 to factor of 4), lower search depths (always 1 or 2 ply
behind), and yet he can play with the big boys and give them all that they can
handle.  Pretty amazing, really.
