Because they had *LUDICROUS* compute power at their disposal, they could make choices nobody else would ever dream of. All of the top PC programs agressively prune. They may not use null move, but something else like it instead. If you can hit a peak of one billion NPS, you can do things differently. It really does not make any sense to emulate deep blue on PC software. Unless you want to wait three months between moves.
