Go up one level in this thread


Ref:  Monty Newborn

I think his book (How computers play chess) has this table:

ELO    PLY
1600    5
1800    6
2000    7
2200    8
2400    9
2600   10
2800   11

Thus:  200 points per ply.  I think he also says the average
number of moves per ply is 36-38, so machine speed must increase
by a factor of 6 to reach the next ply.  If someone has the book
handy, check my table.  I will double check tonight.

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
