Go up one level in this thread


I do not think that today a graph like that would be relevant.  Some programs
sacrafice plies for a much more thorough evaluation.  Other programs sacrafice a
 thorough evaluation for speed.  If you had a chart like this, a program that
searched slow would but evaluated well would do very well on a chart like that,
while a fast program that didn't have as complex evaluation would do poor.  But
if you actually had a match between these two programs they two extremes would
probably even out.
