The problem is that I cannot prove even +1.xx and even in the last positions in
the line that I got by email I can see only 0.xx evaluation(I do not care about
the fact that black has material advantage of 1 pawn in the end of the line
because programs can see that white has some positional compensation for the
pawn).

Singular etensions are extensions for things that you can prove.
If in almost every node there are 2-3 logical lines then it is clear that
singular extensions can prove nothing.
