There is a lot of controversy about that. Some people say it was 12 ply,
some say it was 16-17 ply.

I can do the nodes/nps/branching factor maths and have it work out fine
either way. Similarly, I would think the logs show that it searches 16-17 ply,
but I've heard and seen reasonable arguments to the contrary, which were
unfortunately not totally convincing. So personally, I don't know, simply.

I think the answer on your question will depend on who you ask, which isn't
really what you hoped for, I assume.
