In theory, using a "ply 2" level in several chess programs would mean a sort of approximate "standard" level of calculation in them, independent of machine's speed (or optimization in speed of search). I suppose such a "ply" level would relatively favour "slow" programs with big knowledge against "fast" programs with relatively smaller knowledge (and optimized programs in general). But I have a question. I suppose different programs use different amount of extensions beyond fixed ply level, so a program could see a threat 2 plies even when it is using a "fixed ply 2" level. This destroy the "equalness" I pretend by mean of use of a fixed ply level. Can someone say how work "fixed ply" levels in chess programs? Are there big differences among them in terms of search extensions beyond the fixed ply?
