I don't think you can say for sure. A lot of it depends on the quality of the static evaluation within the individual program. A program with a very simple evaluation (Fritz, maybe) will do much worse with 2 ply than a program with a larger evaluation (Hiarcs, CM, Rebel, Crafty, etc.) doing a 2 ply search. The way Fritz (or other programs) can make up for this is with extensions, which will greatly influence this. The more extensions done (in lower search depths), the better the program will play. [Because in higher search depths, too many extensions can stall the search, and make it play much worse, even.] Jeremiah
