Uri You have seen positions Posted here... with "Start your Engines" etc... Where a position has 30 or 40 'possible moves' the Horizon effect comes into play. You can spin your hard disc for days.. and not really be sure the PV is the best move. Under Tournament time controls the 'best move' is far beyond the Computer's ability to find. That's what 'anti-computer' chess is all about. They have no intelligence, no plan, no strategy, when out of book! You know that..
