I don't understand the interest in material only search. You've completed 34 ply, but what does that prove? For instance, how do you know if upon completion of ply 35, your engine might decide that the best line gives up a pawn at move 3? It's possible. You're just spinning your wheels here for no reason. And this is independent of whether or not you are using null move pruning or whatever. That issue is a red herring that distracts from the fact that no firm conclusion can drawn in any case.
