Hi,

I know they had some selective extensions, but didn't they do a 14-ply
brute-force minimax base search? And wouldn't that mean that DB was using most
of its processing power on that brute force search (since an alpha-beta pruned
14-ply game tree should contain something like 70 billion nodes, which would
take a machine doing 200 Meganodes/second around 350 seconds to search through)?

Regards,
Janosch.
