I don't think anyone is >going to find that. 60 plies? No way. More like half that. A lot of humans have no trouble calculating the draw to the end. I found it myself without any assistance of any kind. The only thing difficult about that draw is the psychological barrier. This Kaspy failed to overcome as we all know. As for computer programs, judging from the Chris Janeke post, commercial programs have no trouble finding the draw with a 5 ply headstart. If it were really 60 plies, I don't see how that would be possible.
