Where b4 can be discussed about, b4-b5? is cleary horrible. It's against all positional rules of chess, but knowing that DB just got 11 ply, it's not very surprising anymore to me that it has these horizon effects. In this position singular extensions don't work very well you see. Too much possibilities to cover pieces and move with material. Checks/Mating threats and such are not needed here, and freeapawn extensions are very ineffective too, as the freepawn of white will not come further than e5. So searching 11 ply there is 11 ply and no ply more. Do you think it weird then that it plays like some first versions of my own program? At analysis level diep wants to play b4? too. but when it gets deeply, then it doesn't consider b5 anymore, as this move becomes more and more horrible, concluded from lines DB never saw in that game.
