There are far more 3ply "combinations" in a chess game than 5ply "combinations",
and far more 5ply combinations than 7ply ...

this means that a Slower searcher will miss more tactical things in a speed game
than in a standart game (compared to a Faster searcher).

The better eval. Function will not help much after it lost a pawn, it is more
important in standart chess.
