This is the next position that indicate that my specialized plys are still not
that efficent. When your solve 4 moves in only one half of one second, mine went
beyond one. My NPS is double of your. This is the next indication that efficency
is below of what it should be.

My expectation is that hash do very little for specialized plys since they are
already very optimized. Something to verify later.

For me is there no chances to look 9 moves for more that 10 hours but still I am
curious how much internal structure of given position influence its branching
factor. Will try to put this position later for 10 hours run.

Maybe it will be interesting for you to know exactly time for other and good
programs for this position. First for certain program where I put hash to zero.

3 moves  took 4 seconds.
4 moves  took 7 min and 31 sec.

Second was specialized engin for solving mate. It not permit to disconnect its
hash completely. Could see only for 4 moves. It took 1 min and 18 sec. Five
moves time I could not see since mate engin exploded.

Cheers,
Leonid.
