You assume that you know the solution.
it may be possible that there is a solution that nobody thought about and the
programs are going to discover it.

Even if there is a deep solution that no program can see it does not mean that
there is not another solution that nobody thought about.

I also do not know if there is a deep solution that nobody see and maybe the
deep solution is only an illusion.

Do you have a forced line when after it program need many hours to see that
white is winning?
