You only have one that can search special lines 1000 plies. It >does not complete the ply for each of the 1000 plies. Top programs also do not see everything for 16 plies when the depth is 16 because they use null move pruning or other pruning ideas and they can miss important lines because of it. If you want 16 plies with no pruning that can cause program to miss important lines then all programs need years to do it. Uri
