What hardware and software are you running that evaluates more than 2 million
positions / second, pray tell??

Doesn't sound like anything I've seen yet.

Also, the description of Claude Shannon's theories regarding the search are
incorrect. Claude proposed two methods of searching, type 'A' and type 'B'. The
type 'A' would search all moves to a given depth. Type 'B' would search through
only selected moves, but in greater depth than type A.
