This sounds interesting... IOW, the engine would maintain a certain time/depth ratio independant from the cpu (above 400 or whatever MHz), but with more knowledge on faster computers. Thy idea could even be applied to the *time controls* (on the same computer, maybe another quicker one): up to i.e. 30 secs./move, increase depth as usual, then at longer time controls maintain that depth and increase the knowledge used instead. Seems to be a very reasonable approach, at least to be tried by a programmer. Could probably be tested against GMs on ICC or FICS, although probably only in blitz most often. Regards, M.Scheidl
