I am sure 99% of our readers disagree. :) > >Best Regards, >Chris Carson i think you are right or close on the 8 ply , but after that i think the higher you go you get less per ply . i also believe that a jump from 1 ply to 4 ply is more than 600 points .because once tactics are handled it comes down to stategy and the true programs weakness may not be over come so easily just by searching 14 ply instead of 13 .i think the deeper you go each ply may not be worth more than 50 elo .at some point say after 25 may not be worth more than 5 or 10 points if that .
