This would really tell us all possibly how strong at what ply the comp >is. This way the speed of the computer is irrelevant. I like this idea. I am sure someone will complain about the methodology for this experiment (reliability is in doubt), but I think it is a good idea. Also, I would recommend that you have a fast machine so that getting to higher ply does not take a long time. You could also save time by starting at a ply of say 8 and then go up a total of 2 ply and down a total of 2 ply (5 ply total with 10 games at each ply, 5 black, 5 white). Any program should work. Anyone have crafty for this. If the person is a master, it would be great. The chess program is set to ply depth (no time control) and the human plays at game in 2 hours (or 40/2 if you want more time). Ponder should be off. Just my two cents. :) My guess: 8 ply = 2000, each additional ply adds 200 points. I am sure 99% of our readers disagree. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
