Look at the deep blue log files.  If I were trying to "guess" an
average search depth, that guess would have two variables:

1.  They reported depth as 11(6) for example.  According to the deep blue
team, and regardless of what others will say about it, this supposedly means
that they did 11 plies in software, plus another 6 in hardware.

2.  They did some extensions that most are not doing, which means if you are
asking "on average, how deep did any single path go?" then I would have no idea
about answering...
