Theoretically going from 5-6 will gain more than going from 4-5, which will gain more than going from 3-4. Because going from 31-32 will solve the game exactly. I have no idea about the Elo, but as we begin to complete the 6's and move to the 7's and 8's, the machines are going to become _very_ difficult to handle in positions where there are fewer than 16 pieces left on the board, because they will almost know "everything".
