You could rent the Rybka Cluster. =)
I only have sub-3000 strength items on my computer but.... which sort of game do you think should be examined? Like maybe Fischer's incredible game with the sacrificed bishop? (Byrne vs Fischer 1956 - Rosenwald Memorial in new york)
I have been asking this question myself lately because I have started using Crafty to analyze my games and I have noticed that even I (with a sub-1000 rating here and no real life tournament experience) disagree with some of the 18-move long analyses. I mean... thoes 18 move ones are based on the odds that your oponent sees the same things as the analysis program did. So if move 5 is 0.5 better than move 4, will that be caught by a grand master????
I am thinking of trying this with just like 2 minutes per move for Crafty but I really think Fritz is the one who should do this analysis. Oh, and Fritz and Chessbase NEED TO PROVIDE LINUX VERSIONS. I am about to spring for a copy of Shredder because everyone else is windows only.
Has anyone taken an 1800 level game, or any other games, and ran them through a 3400 strength program, and had it rank every possible move in order of best to worst, or at least list the best 4 moves at each move of the game for black and white? How close to the top are most chess player moves, typically, assuming there is not a recapture occuring?
I just ordered Fritz 8. Can it rank moves like that for me? (obviously not with 3400 level certainty)
BTW, I think that often the difference between the best positional move and the second best is probably 9 moves deep of variations explaining that the better one is the true minimax. The explanation would probably not help class players. But it would still be nice to see the rankings of the 4 best replies to every move, black and white, in annotated games. Nothing wrong with masters playing weaker moves as long as their strategies can be explained to amateurs without 9 move deep analysis.
