Basically, what you find in the openings with 12 minutes of PII 300 MHz cpu time
is a 13 ply deep blunder check.  The experiment you describe was the first one
that we performed.  It has been completed [over 3 months ago] and the output is
available.  Look on my public FTP site and you will find the result set as EPD
output.  As with all of the data, it is constantly being re-refined.  So the
results will improve over time.  Have you read our C.A.P. FAQ?  You will see
what the whole thing is about:
