Message-ID: <9011091027.aa03480@PARIS.ICS.UCI.EDU> Date: 9 Nov 90 18:27:50 GMT Lines: 13 Does anyone out there know of any empirical results that give a feel for how search ply may be related to USCF rating? I realize, of course, that this is not too useful without considering the static position evaluator and peculiarities of the search method. Still, I was wondering if there were some general qualitative statements that could be made about this relationship. -Karl Karl B.
