Subject: 3 computer chess myths: which one has proven to be true?

Author: Jouni Uski

1. program X plays relatively better against humans than against computers
2. program Y plays relatively better with longer time control
3. there are diminishing returns from speed doubling, when search depth is
   increased

I think definitely 3. is true - only the size of diminishing is unclear. E.g.
from latest SSDF list (yes comp-comp play!) doubling gives only 40 points at
current top level against 75 previously. But 1 and 2 are still open cases.
