11(6) means 11 ply depth.

it is theoretical impossible to search with so little nodes a second
17 ply fullwidth without hashtables and without pruning, and we know
that they didn't forward prune, also many comparisions from Uri Blass
have revealed that Crafty tactical (not exactly a tactical hero)
at 15 ply sees more than Deep Blue at 17 ply and diep at the same depth
(because it is using singular extensions) usually sees the same things
or more.
