Maybe I misunderstood your previous post, but what I intended to clarify was the
kind of situations that caused Sharper to search too deep. This happens without
the use of extensions of any kind. There just seems to be a few positions that
are searched very deep, and that's the reason for having the MAXPLY limitation.
