He talked abouit the search barrier and claimed that plies are not very
important if you search deeper than it.

He said that Diep need 12 or 14 plies to win and got less than it so it lost.
It seems to me that he claimed that after some depth search is not important and
only evaluation is important.

He claimed that Diep unlike other programs could not get that depth.
