without EGTBs what time do programs need to get an aboslute draw

So *search* till it is a draw score.

another thing. with 500k nodes a second, chiptest/deepthought 1,

This was in a time that every computerchess game was decided before
move 25 or so, by major blunders from all computers.

I do not see why this old software doesn't get put in the right contest.
It was good when it was produced, not it is of course outgunned by a
zillion times by modern software.
