This was discussed but there was no agreement about the meaning.
I did not express opinion about the meaning of 11(6) and I only expressed
opinion that it is practically less than 17 plies of the top programs.

The reason may be more extensions of the top programs of today and I did not
express an opinion about it.

Top programs are not using singular extensions but they use different extensions
and I do not know if deeper blue used all the extensions that the top programs
of today use.

I remember few examples when other programs needed 15 plies to see similiar pv's
to the pv's that deeper blue found in 11(6).
I am not sure if these were the exact number but this was at least the idea
