If we are talking about SE, then both sides can be extended.  You have to take
their output, ie 11(6) and use that "11 plies" as a starting point.  Each
singular move adds 1 ply to that.  Note that a move can be both singular and
out of check, and it gets extended by 2 plies.  Their only extension constraint
was that two consecutive plies could not extend more than 2 plies total.  IE if
you extend twice at ply N, then you could not extend by 1 on both the previous
and next moves (before and after that 2-ply extension ply).

That kind of search can probe _very_ deeply in the right lines since SE was
not their _only_ extension.  It was generally "in addition to" everything else
we all normally do.
