Sorry, I can't resist this. But I think if DB would have used nullmove, hash and
no singular extensions, it would been much much stronger. Suppose Crafty
searched not 15 ply, but 25 ply. All the time. Don't you think that would blow
DB right out of the sky? I think so.

Yet, DB being 1000x faster than current hardware, they could have reached that
depts. To follow this thread a bit, they would have seen the draw :-)

Best regards,
Bas.
