"Experiments in Chinook show that there comes a point where increased search
depth provides diminishing returns."

From a mathematical game theory point of view, checkers is a simpler game than
chess. There are only 5x1020 positions (5 with 20 zeros after it) in checkers,
whereas chess has at least 1040 positions. Knowing this how long it will take to
reach diminishing returns in chess?
