Many chess programmers agree that the search- and the eval- part of an engine have to be tuned so they work optimal together. (like you can throw out certain parts in the eval since they're now covered with a better/faster search etc) Now you take an engine, which is optimized for todays hardware to reach a certain depth in typical middlegame positions and make the experiment of increasing search depth. Why can't the effect of "diminishing returns" not be explained by the fact that search and eval are no longer working together optimal? It seems to me that in all these experiments which try to prove the effect of deminishing returns, the errors bars are bigger than the effect they want to prove. Sargon
