no.

in all cases it had nothing to do with stopping PB.
the idea of genius was: having an advantage over normal search based programs
doing NORMAL searches and not coming that deep . it was good enough for 10
titles of richard lang.

with CSTAL the idea was to make a chess program that plays interesting.

genius forces opponents often to compute from sero and CSTAL WAS often forced by
opponent to begin with sero when.

IMO there is no need for a chess program always to play the BEST move.
it would make more sense to play moves that lead to a plan, instead of trying to
SOLVE the positions of a game as a single position .
