Maybe depth 4. >what about loosing on time? Time is part of the game. I ran a match against amyan on my p800(in 1 second per game 60% of the games were won on time and amyan won 30.5-9.5). In 2 second per game no game was won on time and amyan won 32-8 The longest game took 93 moves and amyan blundered by resigning. 2 seconds per game on 800 is eqvivalent to 1 second per game on fast hardware if the programs have no bugs so they can avoid losing on time. I believe that programmers who participate are going to tune their programs for the event so they can avoid losing on time at least in 90% of the cases. >IMO more than 50% of the games will lost on time. >Even if it's not 50%, a good percentage of games will be lost on time. >Than it won't really be a measurement of strength, but rather a measurement of >time management capability, and having a very very good book that will make most >of the moves for you within seconds. I do not think that a good book is important here. tactics is the most important thing and you can play even lines like 1.e4 h6 and win if you are strong at tactics Uri
