This may be true, but is it not also true (and perhaps to a greater degree) that today's program's relative short sightedness due to lower NPS (and fewer eval terms per eval) also means they miss more correct moves, not necessarily mistakes that stand out if not done, just inferior. This is a fact that most people overlook and I think what Dr. Hyatt has been driving at in so many words. The compensation of these advantages outweigh the mistakes you are describing. Is this not a large hole in your (and Vincent's) logic which I see repeated over and over again in these discussions about DT/DB/DB2 versus todays progs? Regards,
