No
It took me with the help of Genius3(p100) and no help from
other humans few hours to see a draw evaluation
(I proved at that time by a tree
that black can force draw evaluation when I consider numbers like
+0.2 also as a draw)

I needed some hours because the hardware was slow at that time and
today 30 minutes are enough.

I did not publish my analysis at that time but I know that there was
no need for many humans+many hours to


Crafty also can see the draw if you continue
some plies down in the tree.


The hardest line for computers after Ra6 Qe3 is the following line:
I used * for obvious singular moves

45.Qxd6 Re8* 46.h4 h5 47.Bf3* Qc1+* 48.Kf2* Qd2+* 49.Be2* Qf4+*
50.Kg1* Qe3+ 51.Kh2* Qf4+* 52.Kh3* Qxf5+* 53.Kh2* Qf4+*

Here even Crafty can see 0.00 at depth 12

(Blass, Tel-aviv 12.09.2001)


The number of non singular moves in that line is at most 6 plies from
Deeper blue's point of view(I count also the first 2 plies Ra6 Qe3
as non singular(Deeper blue did not expect Qe3 when it played Ra6 so
it is clear that Qe3 was not singular from it's point of view and
I assume that Ra6 was also not singular.

Here is part of Deep blue logfile from that position

12(6) #[Ra6](162)[TIMEOUT] 162  T=192
ra8a6 Qb6c6q pd5c6Q Rb8c8 be4d5 Kf7e7 ra6a5 Bd6c7 ra5b5P Ke7d6 bd5f3 Kd6e7 rb5c5
Rc8a8 bf3d5 Ke7d6
---------------------------------------
-->  45.   Ra6 <-- 15/75:45

You can see that deeper blue could search depth 18 so
6 non singular moves mean that the remaining depth from the position
that Crafty see 0.00 is 12 and depth 12 +singular extension is
clearly bigger than depth 12 of Crafty.

It seems to me that something is wrong in your assumptions about
deeper blue(maybe depth 12(6) is not depth 18 and maybe
deeper blue did not extend a full ply for every singular move.
