I know very little about forward pruning/evaluation ..., so please tell
me: When you say Diep is searching 17 ply, do you mean it examines all the
possible positions for the following 17 plies, even the stupid moves?
(With a small calculation i think this is impossible but...)
Or that Diep discards a lower percentage of not-promising moves?

Good luck to you and to all of the participants.
