There are a lot of mistakes that deep thought could find and the top programs of
today cannot find.
It proves nothing.

The evaluation is simply not convincing and I did not see a tree to convince me.
There are combinations that program cannot find and I can be convinced that they
are correct by analyzing and going forward and backward.
This is certainly not one of them.

If singular extension can help  then Ferret or another program with singular
extensions could also see winning a piece after a lot of time.

I bet that Crafty with singular extension and it is not important how you
implement singular extensions cannot see winning a piece in that position even
after 24 hours.

If I am right than it means that there must be a bug in Deep thought.
