Hello John,
I think the question was how many plies will CM8K search.  I gave it the
following position from the endgame tutorials.

8/p7/P7/8/8/6K1/8/6k1 b - - 0 1

Chessmaster 8000 searched 46 plies in about 2 seconds and stopped (Infinite
level).  The clock continued to run but CM8K was not searching anymore.  This
looks like a bug to me.
