My anecdotal evidence points to that one must be sufficiently close in
strength for exploting these weaknesses. I cannot drive manyfaces in to a
huge semeai where I am one liberty ahead. But I have seen it happen.

So more CPU woudl still make programs stronger lifting the "exploitation
bar"

To me pachi seems to playing differently from AyaMC and neither really
resembles manyfaces.

And as more CPU comes available some that will allocated to move pruning and
playouts creating more diversity.
