This is an edited excerpt from a conversation I heard on ICC.  I was somewhat
shocked by what was said.  I'm wondering what other people think about this.

y[7] kibitzes: junior is doing 2x tactical, db probably does 4x

(This was in reference to extensions - Junior apparently does x-ply of
positional search, and 2x-ply in tactical search.)

x[7] kibitzes: no
x[7] kibitzes: deep blue has released its specs
x[7] kibitzes: it's doing way less
x[7] kibitzes: junior would crush tacdtically deep blue like a child
y[7] kibitzes: way less?  typical extensions were going from 5 ply
   search to 20 ply
x[7] kibitzes: it's very well known since april/march what deep blue
   was doing
z[7] kibitzes: DB was getting well over 40 ply selective in most positions
   ...12 ply full-width with NO forward pruning...
x[7] kibitzes: is getting this position selecitvely over 40 ply too
x[7] kibitzes: says nothing
x[7] kibitzes: junior gets over 40 ply too
x[7] kibitzes: please ignore selective depths
x[7] kibitzes: i get up to 100 ply selective
