I have never tried 3-ply Red, but here is what Neil Kazaross said about it last year: You seem to have a nice fast computer. I don't recommend dumbing down the later stages of a RO using 3-ply Red since it is about 10 ELO weaker... If you run a comparison test of two early game RO's (one 1296 games 3-ply, the other 1296 games 3-ply Red) I think you'll come to the conclusion that the speed gain isn't worth losing about 10 ELO. (Note that 3-ply is 32 ELO stronger than the much faster 2-ply.) Mike
