The right statement is the deeper the searches the better

(Which is not precisely the same as the number of ply's .)
Still I think something is wrong with  chessprograms
on this mather
when a program has searched for lets say 12 plys and I make 1 ply the evaluation
changes which means the evaluation the program made was wrong)

and not the faster.
