That is hardly possible. At first I would say it is impossible to search only 4
4 "quiet" positional moves and still survive. What about a subtil tactic made
out of many quitet moves? But then again, Genius does quite an impressive job
with only 6 ply positional and a huge tactical search on top of that. Ok,
possible in principal, but very difficult.

But anyway I agree with CT that it is probably a hoax and he is simply running
Fritz or something.
