Hello, I use GNU Chess 5.00 and xboard on a P100 Linux machine. When I switch ShowThinking on, I see that the search depth stays quite small during a regular search, compared to earlier versions of GNU Chess. I know that the number displayed is the depth the engine searches _all_ variations and that there are extensions which go much deeper into the search tree. Now, does this mean there are more cut-offs and thus more selectivity? Or does this mean that the search algorithm is more "brute force"? Or does it simply mean my machine is too slow? -- Alex.
