Longest computation that your calculator performed for you?

[Paul Dale]

It does a full width three ply minimax search with alpha-beta pruning. It has no quiescence look ahead and the scoring function is fairly simple.

It does better than just moving pieces around but isn't a challenge for anyone who's played much chess. Possibly around the level of personal computers in the mid to late 1970's, although probably not competitive with the better ones.
