Subject: Q&A with Feng-Hsiung Hsu

Several people asked:

Question: What does "12(6)" mean in Deep Blue's logs?

Dr Hsu said, "12(6) means 12 plies of brute force (not counting the search
extensions & quiescence). 6 means the maximum hardware search depth allowed.
this means that the PV could be up to 6 plies deeper before quiescence."

Unfortunately questions were being fed through a third-party, so it wasn't
possible to get a follow-up.
