The questions are: 1)What does 12(6) mean. Does it mean 12 plies in the software+6 plies in the hardware or total 12 plies. 2)If he says 12 plies in software+6 plies in hardware then next question: Did the software searched with no pruning. 3)If the answer is positive than how it is possible to do it. It is impossible for programs to search 12 plies with no pruning in normal middle game positions when they search 500,000 nodes per second. 126,000,000 nodes per second is clearly more than 500,000 nodes but only 252 times bigger and it does not seem enough to search 6 additional plies to the impossible 12 plies.
