This is a very ignorant question coming from me, but I'd love to hear the answers, it is bugging me. Ok, hypothetical question, Deep Junior 8 is playing against kasparov... it is a difficult board position, around 7 ply the computer should be coming across the correct move, there is only 1 correct move to play without a lose along the road... now if DJ8 is filtering at 99.99999% of the moves, why would it matter if it had quad 2.8ghz chips, or even 8 chips... if its not seeing the move, why would it at 22ply suddenly see it? on the x3d site there is an excellent article, and it says, a definate way to beat a super grandmaster is to build a machine running at 1 billion positions a second, and have it search to only 14ply, making thoroughness over filtering and deep looking a priority... so can someone explain to me why faster hardware makes a difference, if even my home pc can look at ply 18 with deep junior... thank you.
