I've been musing about different computers, both dedicated and software for PC's. I've recently had a new thought which I'm sure is old-stuff to all of you veterans out there. I usually play with the level setting which states the average response time for the computer to make one move. For example let's say the level is "3 minutes on average for each move". But I could achieve the same time control by setting the computer up for 40 moves in 2 hours, and let the computer budget its time. While I can see that the time control of 40/2hours may make the machine a little stronger since it can search deeper (longer) in hairy positions, just how much stronger will it get? My lay guess is the 40/2hours time control is not much stronger than the 1 move every (on average) 3 minutes. Does anyone have any insight?
