Subject: Did someone try fixed depth tournaments?

It is possible to play gmaes at fixed depth under Deep Fritz.

Did someone try to play tournament between engines at fixed depth in order to
find out which engine earns more from getting more plies and if there is a
diminishing return from bigger depth?

I think that it will be intresting to have a rating list of the following
programs:

Deep Fritz(1 ply)
Deep Fritz(2 plies)
Deep Fritz(3 plies)
...
Deep Fritz(10 plies)
Deep Fritz(11 plies)
Deep Fritz(12 plies)
Hiarcs7.32(1 ply)
Hiarcs7.32(2 plies)
Hiarcs7.32(3 plies)
...
Hiarcs7.32(10 plies)
Gambittiger(x plies)
Tiger14(x plies)

You can add more programs like Nimzo8 or the latest chessbase version of Crafty.
The rating of the programs should be based only on games between different
programs so there should not be games between Deep Fritz(6 plies) and Deep
Fritz(7 plies) because I remember that when Fritz6 played against itself people
criticized the experiment and said that it does not prove diminishing returns
from bigger depth.
