Judging from the 2/11 search depth, you were actually running the
default (SS=9) personality. The result is pretty good though, Nf6
simply [1] wins Black's queen in about 8 moves due to continuous
mate threats. Damn, my engine is good! (sometimes :-)

[1] Simply might not be the right word here. :-)
    Since the EPD starts at move 3, there is probably an even more
    interesting and less simple position existing 2 moves earlier.
