No wonder!  Have you ever tried to generate a stable PV for the position of
tomorrow's weather?  In that forest you lose the tree because of all the leaves.
 Plus, you can't even propogate values back up the tree--not enough computing
power.  If the problem is not intractable, it is never-the-less daunting even
with fractal and chaos theory.  Selective pruning would kill the program's
rating!  I'd rather discuss chess anyday.

P.S.--I'm going hiking Saturday, what's the best single process program to
forecast So. Calif. Mountain?
