Let's hope that no mathematician ever quotes you on this. ;)

Still it's amazing to me to reach 30 plies that fast. (or in PM's case even
faster) 30 plies w/ perfect alpha-beta should be 15 plies w/o alpha-beta, right?

I don't know about your engine but a 15-ply search w/o alpha-beta from the
initial position is.. welp.. out of the question. :) Maybe null-move helps with
this a lot? or I am missing something obvious? Or both? :) What approx. depths
would a non-MTD(f) engine reach in the same experiment?

Regards,

Sargon
