Singular extensions can save a lot of plies only in positions when there are a lot of singular lines when there is a big difference between the best move and the next best move. In the releavant position it simply does not happen and if you search through the logical lines you find that most of the moves of both sides are not singular. I suggest that somebody will ask Hsu about it. I do not know the email of hsu and I may be cnsidered as an enemy of hsu after my posts(inspite of the fact that I do not hate hsu) so I am afraid that he is not going to answer me but maybe he can answer you or Hyatt if you ask him about the position of that game. Note that I did not say that Hsu was stupid(it was suggested by another poster after my posts). I am sure that he had to be very intelligent in order to build the hardware that was used against kasparov. I guess that the fact that he had to work so hard about the hardware did not help him to implement the search algorithms correctly and I do not blame him for that. I do not claim that the top programmers of today could do better in his conditions and I believe that he could do better if he had more time. Uri
