I don't have the exact figures handy, but off the top of my head... A 1 ply searcher achieved an ICC rating of just under 700. 2 ply was 950 or so. A 3 ply was 13 something. If I remember correctly, a 4 ply searcher with quiescence rated around 1700 or 1750. The experimental program didn't use iterative deepening, and therefore just computed a move and made it without regard to time. It always had _lots_ of time left at the end of the game.... This program wasn't TSCP, but I suspect the rating would be pretty close. At 4 ply, lots of tactical things get missed, even with a quiescence function. -- James
