Go up one level in this thread


This is due to aggressive extensions.  It surprised me that even just "check"
and "one reply to check" extensions can give huge search depths for certain
lines.  However, IMHO a search of 50 ply at 10 secs a move is a waste of time
99.9999999% of the time.  From a programming perspective it's better to severly
limit the search extensions when they are much higher than the average search
depth.
