At the depths it will be having to search, it will be _lucky_ to get even one extra ply of search, and that is doubtful. The non-advantage of this speedup is more evident at slow time controls. If the match were at fast time controls, then the speedup would be a greater boon. As it is, even if the effective speed were doubled, the program would be lucky to get an extra ply. > The GM may win, >but Hiarcs 8.0 is the favorite in this match. > >This is great news, my best to both the GM and Hiarcs.
