Irrelevant, as long as it chooses the key move. It gets a new turn after the opponent's response. Besides which, Phalanx, after a fairly short think, got plenty of the pv right... Here is what Phalanx said, compared to the analysis that was proposed phal:Nh4xg6 Kh7xg6 Qc2xf5 Kg6-g7 Be2-d3 Rf8-h8 Qf5-g6 Kg7-f8 Pe5xd6 anal:Nxg6 Kxg6 Qxf5+ Kg7 Bd3 Rh8 Qg6+ Kf8 e6 You will notice that the first disagreement is the fateful and difficult pawn move e6. So would Phalanx get it wrong? I doubt very much if (by the time Phalanx arrived at that position) if the move chosen would not be the correct one. Of course, to say that chess is solved by having a program that chooses the right move to this problem is directly and more absurdly akin to: "I have sucked up this eyedropper of seawater and examined it with a magnifying glass. Therefore, we know all that there is to know about the ocean."
