There are some possible reasons for not detecting diminished returns. Three that immediately pop to mind are: Odd/Even discrepancies. Big depth needed. Low quality in chess evaluation functions. The last reason is briefly illuminated in the article: Search Versus Knowledge in Game-Playing Programs Revisited, by Andreas Junghanns, Jonathan Schaeffer. As an ordinary chessgame is longer than both othello and checkers games the combination lower decision quality of chess and longer game makes decisive errors mor likely. Then chess is a hotter game than the others, maybe so much hotter that diminishing return never materializes. Regards Dan Andersson
