I know about heinz test but the question is if the opening book is not the reason for the diminishing returns in this case and I suspect that there are opening that simply lead to draw when depth is not important if it is not too small. I chose the nunn2 match because the result is not decided by the opening in these games.

I agree that common sense says this but the question is if practically we got enough depth for this purpose. Uri
