I dont remember exact values but wasnt there some research,
that the probability for changing a move for higher depths
tends to go versus zero?
This would mean that 6 times more computer power wont help
that much, as could be expected, after a certain thinking time.
Also the task of the expert player has to be to make a good
preselection of moves to save computer time.
