Since Deep Blue isn't around playing games these days the only "Real" Competition That is on the level of DeepThought or Blue would be Cray Blitz. How does CB compare to the Deep's? I know DT could be searching 10Ply find a move but a regular Fritz might take 20+ ply I am guessing that CB is closer to the Deep's than your average program ... What kind of differences between Cray and Commercials are there in eval "IF" that's a BIG "IF" eval is the main difference between the two. How much memory went to Hash Tables etc? Is the Depth = to Crafty only just deeper in searches? In other words is 12ply for CB the same as Crafty? I played a game Between Fritz and Crafty at 12ply each and then 12ply for Crafty and 14 for Fritz , Fritz lost both not that this says much as Fritz at 12 ply took tops 1:30 while Crafty took up to 30 minutes but at 14 Ply for Fritz it was not enough in the endgame. I don't know how much Depth is good for fritz but it looks like 12Ply is a decent minimum for Crafty for most positions except in the endgame. Also i asked about the games of Crafty Vs Cray Blitz when will these be available?
